225. MS Misdiagnosis: Common Conditions Mistaken for Multiple Sclerosis and What to Ask Your Doctor


Listen Later

In this episode, I discuss why multiple sclerosis (MS) is commonly misdiagnosed and delve into conditions that often mimic MS symptoms. 

We'll explore the McDonald criteria updates, diagnostic challenges, and conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, Lyme disease, and others that often lead to misdiagnosis. 

I also provide insights into key symptom similarities and differences, along with potential distinguishing tests. If you suspect a misdiagnosis, I'll guide you on steps to take, from self-assessment to approaching your neurologist confidently. 

Join us for an exploration of MS misdiagnosis that aims to empower you with knowledge and strategies to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
