"MS has numerous symptoms, many of which are vague, difficult to describe, cannot be measured by tests, and come and go. In addition, many MS symptoms are shared by other medical conditions.

Examples of diseases that can mimic MS include:

Infectious diseases like syphilis, Lyme disease, or HIV

Autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, or Sjögren's syndrome​

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Structural problem in the spine, such as a herniated disc

Genetic disorders like leukodystrophies

Brain or spinal cord tumor"

It's amazing how many other diagnoses share symptoms with MS. I hope we can finally find a simple, definitive test someday.

It is amazing that's why it's always wise to get a second opinion
