Answer 1

You positively do have it you say?? it doesn't sound like you have met the diagnostic guidelines...check here for more info

with that being said I think there are alot of other disorders that need to be evaluated and eliminated as a cause of your fatigue

Answer 2

Yes, Absolutly. with ym family, we are finding out that several people have MS, and we are basically linking it to my grandmother, who was very ill, and the doctors at the time had no answers. Now that we look back , it seems her symptoms sound like MS. With my cousin, she, as of now is felling just fine, but her mother is in a wheelchair. MS is a strange thing, it comes and goes, and is worse in some than it is in others. I am currently being tested myself. So I would say yes, you could never be diagnosed.

Answer 3

a spinal tap and an MRI are the only ways to really get a diagnosis. plus you have to rule out every other possibility.

Answer 4

yes........it took years to diagnose my great aunt........i was diagnosed 3 yrs ago and i'm now 36 and i have those days that i can't stand.........but other wise i'm fine..........anything i overdue......i pay for the next day..........but i do it anyway.......i have those days where i just want to sleep also.........so i sleep and then back to normal........it's a very unpredictable desease and you never know what to expect............but you learn to adjust and i have......good luck with everything and keep us all informed on your outcome.

Answer 5

Answer 6

If you don't have any symptoms, I'd take a wild stab in the dark and say that you don't have it.
