Thank you for all of the help you provide to myself and others here. I just need some answers so I can get on with my life.
I feel confident other things are ruled out, as I don't have the symptoms that go along with so many of the other things. Are the symptoms I am having seen frequently with MS or more frequently with Chronic fatigue? My symptoms include (in addition to the fatigue), pain in my feet, hands, and jawline, urinary urgency and incontinence, painful knees and a right leg that has pain from the hip down to the foot (with a lot of pain usually in the quadricep), and overall icky, flu-like feeling. Is it worthwhile to have the MS tests repeated at a future date, or is having them done one year after symptoms adequate to have something show if it is going to show? 3. MS? Doctors agree bladder problem doesn't "fit" with chronic fatigue, but says that there are absolutely no indications of MS. Can I really believe this is chronic fatigue vs. The only thing abnormal (and I've been checked from head to toe) is a hyperreflexic bladder due to some underlying neurological problem of unsure cause (urologist diagnosed). Have also had EMG looking for neuropathy, also negative.
I have had 2 mris, a lumbar puncture, and the evoked potentials studies, all normal. I am most interested in knowing how long it takes before MS can be ruled out. I bought a book on chronic fatigue, and it says it can only be diagnosed after ruling out all other possible causes (and it went on to name a few). After over a year of tests, tests, and more tests, the doctors have diagnosed me with chronic fatigue along with fibromyalgia. I am seeking input based on my latest round of testing (totalling over $3,000 and having been seen by two neurologists, a rheumatologist, and a urologist, along with family practitioner).
