I would definitely be proactive with this doc...and if you feel uncomfortable in time with this doc, look for one that specializes in MS if possible (I would wait until you are dxd).

DO keep a symptom journal with dates of onset of symptoms. Also keep that list of questions for your next appointment, and make sure you write down the answers. I always bring my husband with-I need that second set of ears, because I have processing problems and don't always hear what the doc says.

It takes time to get a dx, and it isn't always MS...it could be Lyme disease as well as other things that mimic MS.

Keep us up to date, and look us up to get info, support and occasional laughs...this is a great place!
