It helps when you go in to your exam and also helps your doctor get a better picture. I usually bring a list of questions as well, because I always forget what I need to ask once I'm in the exam room.

Keep us up to date...and it does take time to get a dx of MS, unless you are presenting with drastic symptoms and the exams and MRIs confirm the dx.
I forgot to add that I have been writing my symptoms down that I have to give to doctor but Journal might be good also. Thank you
