A member asked:

Have lhermitte's sign on one side, neg brain and cervical mri. no other symptoms. i'm 37 y/o male. is this still most likely ms?

No: Multiple sclerosis diagnosis is made when there are multiple lesions in time and space in the central nervous system you have normal MRI of the brain and spinal cord so do not worry! unilateral lhermitte sign sounds a little odd!?
