Welcome to NT!

Keeping a symptom journal is a great idea! I would also add to what Nurse Nancy said that you want to put an end date or time to the symptoms. That is important too in the dx process.

I don't know what kind of insurance you have but if you need a referral to see a specialist, as most insurances seem to require now, get one from your primary care doctor for a neurologist. Ask around for a good neurologist in your area and if they see MS patients.

An MRI with and without contrast of the brain and spine is important. Please request that when you talk with your dr. Your primary care can set up the MRI.

Good luck as you go through the process of finding a dx for your symptoms. Please let us know how you are doing and what the dr. say.
