Although it cannot be cured, treatment can often help manage it. There is no single test to diagnose MS. Dr Marwa Kaisey from the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center department of neurology, explained on the MeSsy podcast that misdiagnosis can be ‘fairly common’ with 20 percent of those diagnosed reportedly turning out to not have the disease.She explained: “We don’t have one single test for MS. It’s not like we have something like a pregnancy test that says, ‘Yes. You have it.’ ‘No. You don’t.’ It’s a list of criteria.” <img src="https://sb.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=2&c2=15593740&cv=2.0&cj=1" />
