Talk to Your Doctor About Your Symptoms
If you’ve had one or more symptoms that are common with MS, your doctor may suggest tests. These can include:
- Blood tests to look for other problems with MS-like symptoms, like Lyme disease
- A test to measure the speed of signals traveling along your nerves
- An MRI, which creates images of your brain, so your doctor can check for areas of damage
- A spinal tap to check the fluid that flows in your brain and spinal cord; this may show signs that your immune system is harming your nervous system, which is what happens in MS.
