Hope this helps: Not knowing more about you, it seems that your neurologist is concerned but is having a tough time confirming a diagnosis. Re ms, if mri's of brain, and neck are not helpful, films of gray matter using dir techniques may help. Spinal fluid is not always of value, and other problems may be present, such as clippers, cadasil, or vasculitis. Since you seem perplexed, have a face to face discussion.
