Reevaluate this: Not unusual for erroneous ms diagnoses as even neurologists can find this area very ambiguous and difficult. It has been 5 yrs, have you had any problems with numbness, strength, sensation, balance, memory? Was your diagnosis based on lesions on an mri, or was your fatigue thot to be ms? Get this "put to bed", see an ms expert at a medical school.
