That is ok. You can rant all you need to, we are here and I give a damn.

(This became a mini rant, feel free to ignore it) My MRI came back clean but I’m very young, have a ton of symptoms, and a genetic link. 5% of people are diagnosed before they have lesions, but it’s also worth noting that it takes 7 years on average to get the right diagnosis, so that number would likely be way higher if the diagnostic process was more accurate. I must have a neurological disorder though. I have an essential tremor, visual disturbances, nerve pain, eye pain, etc. I’m 17 and can barely walk, I’m progressing so rapidly and there’s been a huge gap between the mri and this appointment, my neurological symptoms have only worsened.

I am wondering the same thing. I do know my first test is an MRI of the head to look for/at leasions. I hope some you has some answers.
