Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain And MS

I am 68, male, and going to va in dallas tx. for 4 years with nuero problems. they have diagnosed me with ms, but only recently, after saying all this time they didn t know. I have taken about every ms medication the is with no help from severe pain. I have compared ms symptoms with als symptoms, and sadly I fear that I do have als. when I said this at my last visit 4 mo, ago they just shrugged it off. How can I know the difference?

HI
Well come to HCM
I think to differentiate the diagnosis just single symptom is not enough more over pain is not the sole criteria for this instead this is the common symptoms of the diseases, one need to go through the numbers of test including clinical findings to differentiate this, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
