Fully tested , what i mean is : Tests to diagnose MS
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal cord. This test is done to confirm a diagnosis of MS camera.gif.
Lumbar puncture (sometimes called a spinal tap). This test may be done to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid. Most people with MS have abnormal results on this test.
Evoked potential testing. This test can often reveal abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord camera.gif and in the optic nerves of the eyes camera.gif that other tests may not detect.

I'm not 100% sure but when they did my full spine MRI they thought it could have been MS because of white spots in the spinal cord but then they sent me for a brain and another full spine with the dye and ruled it out so I dunno if that's full testing or not

That is a good Question. I have a cousin with MS I have asked but get brushed off.
