- ianbicking 4y agoMy impression is that there's a lot of discretion in an MS diagnosis, that it's a set of symptoms with no other identified cause. I.e., it's like a process of elimination. I don't know much about MS so I can't make any claim really, but it seems like there might be room for those symptoms to be interpreted very differently in other countries with different training and testing protocols.
