What if an mri doesn't find ms but you have all the symptoms of ms?

MS: There is also a spinal tap looking for oligoclonal bands that can be done. And there are cases of ms that are treated even without all of the classic radiologic or laboratory findings.

Suggestions: Your question is very timely. Some pts have MRI lesions visible only over the spinal cord. In the first year, spinal fluid may best confirm the diagnosis, if MRI equivocal, but sometimes followup images show diagnostic changes. Although your description is very c/w ms, you might instead have lupus, vitamin deficiency, lyme disease, other infections, sjogren's, etc. Might consider 2nd opinion.
