When actress Christina Applegate found out she didn't have MS after 5 years, she wasn't relieved. The symptoms persist, and now she doesn't have any diagnosis. Studies show that upwards of one in five MS diagnoses are wrong. That's dramatic in a country like Canada, which has some of the world's highest levels of MS. We’ll speak with Jackie Pilon, who describes what it was like to have had her MS diagnosis changed. Then, we’ll speak with Dr. Jiwon Oh who tells us what this means for Canadians.
