How to diagnose MS: There are MS symptoms, and then there are symptoms that help to make the diagnosis of MS. For example, muscle spasm is a symptom of MS, and many other illnesses. Lesions of the brain are caused by MS, but also by viruses, head injuries, etc. If you have the right symptoms and the right MRI findings, the diagnosis should be clear. With MS, the diagnosis is rarely that easy to make.

How to proceed: Get followup MRI at 6 months, and maybe include spinal cord if not yet done. If changes in the films, start treatment as delay and vacillation can have bad outcomes. You might wish a second opinion, from a neurologist who focuses on MS>
