Apologies
Just re read my post and saw all the typos! I'm working with one eye at the moment as I have bells palsy one one side of my face. It's reasonably common in people who have MS and others but doesn't usually leave any side effects so no need to frighten your friend. Do let her know that if she had the brain hot spot 15 years ago and is just showing any other symptoms then she is doing extremely well. There is no absolute test and they try to rule out all other possibilities first as you suggest. However the most intrusive thing is the lumbar puncture to collect cns fluid and it usually determines the diagnosis.
Best wishes,
Emily
