Hi all, just thought I'd drop by and slip you all some helpful info., esp. those that still await dx and lumbar puncture is clean.
Sarcoidosis is my DX, finally!!! Could not get dx until I got tumor biopsy; mine is one of the rare forms (throughout). However, this disease is sorely underdiagnosed!

This is another MS "mimic" disease. Perhaps it will help someone.
Blessings,

Here's another interesting article, as it pertains to all these other conditions I've heard so many MSr's dx'd with: http://www.sarcinfo.com/phase1.pdf
It was concluded, via my lumbar puncture last Jan., that I do not have MS; hence, I stopped injecting and so forth and just recently got my diagnosis confirmed ... I've been sick and had all these new developments that cropped up since 1996. I'm on Prednisone and neuro is the primary damage in my case ... along with so many other things, secondary as well.
