Warranted? That decision is one only you can make. This forum will tell you, in most cases, that we have all been where you are right now. Some are still waiting, after a year or years, (yes I said...
Good luck to you Pegleg. Thanks for the advice....
Wow...... I am speechless. We all see on the forums, of people asking about symptoms, or do I have MS, or Neuro's that don't know how to tie shoes much less DX MS. We read about different pains and...

Rhonda is right. We have all been through this frustration. We all thought we would lose our minds before something concrete was said to us. It is part this disease. As far as my probable, it was 4...
