I asked specifically if my diagnosis was based on anything they found, or if
it was based on the symptoms plus what they ruled out. The dr. said the
latter, so I think you might be right. I was never told if there was a lesion
anywhere. I asked the last time I talked to the neurologist if there was one,
and he didn't have my chart open, I guess, but said he didn't think so.
