Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be difficult to diagnose as there is no one test; neurologists usually have to eliminate other conditions and diseases first. Also, symptoms of MS are most often intermittent and appear and disappear over long periods of time. Many people with MS experience seemingly unconnected symptoms for months or years before a diagnosis is confirmed.
