Blurred vision led to MR showing MS lesions n nran and spine though BBB intact; spinal fluid had

IgG and bands, evkdvpotential test showed delayed response; neuro-chiropractor ran tests because of balance issues, He found decreased sensitivity in feet and hands.

My neuro-ophthalmologist thnks MS I nvlved. My neurologist says impossible because BBB intact last May. My question: does the BBB intact rule out MS? I have had symptoms, fatigue etc. for years following mono. My balance problems are gettng worse, yes blurred, numb down right side.

Any advice gratefully received, Jane
