Can Blood Tests For Suspected MS Mean A Different Diagnosis?

I MS suffer told me that there is a disease that mimics MS. I a still in the stage that they seem to think that they believe a am 97% that I have MS. My neurologist after recently having a MIR sent me now to have blood tests.

Could this mean they are considering something else.
