I was diagnosed 2003.I started having problems walking, standing, putting socks/shoes on & dragging rt leg 1998. I worked as RN 12 hr shifts & kept telling DRs that I felt it was MS. They thought muscular. I got breast cancer & chemo so test were stopped. 2 mos after chemo had severe relapse. Drs started testing but tech who read MRI read it wrong (1999 & again 2000). 2002 read correctly but due to my vomiting Neuro didn't want to "label"MS. I had a brainstem lesion which caused the vomiting. Cleveland Clinic found it on MRIs. Had 6 lesions then. can track MS back to early 20's.
