Yes, anything is pos: To answer your question briefly. Anything is possible in medicine. However, you have to look at the sum of all the data to make an informed decision. Often times there are studies that should show some results, however, you never know with some diseases. The best thing to do is to follow up with a neurologist, in particular if you can find one specializing in ms.

Yes, it is: Depending on the severity of the multiple sclerosis and its activity in the brain, CSF studies indicating immune activity may not be detected in mild cases with minimal involvement in the brain.

Can happen: If your history and physical findings are consistent and films confirmatory, you likely do have MS. Spinal fluid is NOT always helpful, and in fact, benign fluid suggests a far milder course of events.
