My living nightmare….Is it MS or just anxiety??

[ccb1982]

Hello,
For the greater part of the past 4 or 5 YEARS I have been battling a multitude of neurological symptoms that mimic MS (some come and go, some are always there).  I have seen five different neurologists and one MS specialist, had several different MRI's and NO ONE has been able to offer me any physical explanation.  I keep thinking if they just did some other test they would finally see what I feel and it's driving me absolutely INSANE!!  Did I mention I saw a psychiatrist for this issue after my son was born? They put me on high doses of Zoloft but my symptoms did not go away.  I then gave up on the mental health side...not sure I ever really believed that could be it though. 

So that brings me to today…I turned 31 and just had another MRI in January that was clear and my neurologist suggested that I see a neuro-psychiatrist.  I had never heard of such a thing but apparently - they exist.  I'm gun shy because therapy hasn't helped me in the past and its darn expensive (then again, so are MRI's).  Does anyone share a similar story?  Will I ever get to the bottom of this? 

Please help!
