A member asked:
What are some reasons a neurologist could misdiagnose multiple sclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numerous: MS can be a challenging and even mysterious disease to neurologists who have a general practice, as numerous other conditions can mimic and confuse. If you are concerned regarding a possible misdiagnosis, seek a second opinion from an experienced doctor who focuses in the sub-specialty of MS.
