Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I agree with you that a clear-cut diagnosis is difficult to make in your case, because you have multiple neurological symptoms, over a long period of time. In addition, neurological diagnosis is most often a clinical diagnosis. There is no \"test\" (blood test or scan) that can \"confirm\" the diagnosis. This is unlike say a kidney failure, which can be diagnosed by high creatinine or a heart failure that can be diagnosed by echocardiogram. This is one of the reasons because of which different neurologists would not agree on one diagnosis.

Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health,
