Definitely similarities between the two as my neurologist had diagnosed me with MS until my MRI results showed no lesions.

They do mimic each other. I was initially tested for MS too.

Exactly, my girlfriend actually has ms and some of my symptoms are a replica of hers.

I actually got tested for all of the autoimmune diseases and my doctor was considering MS -- the early MS symptoms are very similar but you need to get an MRI to show lesions for a more definitive MS diagnosis
