How do i know if i have multiple sclerosis?

Ask your doctor: Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis involved multiple steps and should not be made casually. If you have any concerns, please talk to your doctor.

Can be tricky: Multiple sclerosis is a very difficult disease to diagnose, because the symptoms can be so variable from person to person. Classically, it presents as discrete attacks of symptoms (vision loss, weakness, numbness, etc) that each wane over a few weeks. Definitive diagnosis can be made by a neurologist, usually with a combination of physical exam, lumbar puncture, and mri.

Diagnosis: If you have a history of neurological symptoms which vary from time to time, and your doctor's exam shows problems, and an MRI suggests MS, this could well be the answer. To find out whether your issues involve MS, seek out a neurologist and get an answer.

See below: Not clear why you wish to know this, as you have not provided your list of symptoms or complaints, and a complex diagnosis of this sort cannot be addressed simply. You could discuss with your physician or go to the mayo clinic online site or aan.Com for further descriptions.

??: Why do you inquire about this? A diagnosis of MS typically requires specialized testing performed by a neurologist.
