hi melissa, welcome to NT.

you're smart to get a copy of the report. i'd also get a copy of the disc in case you should see other drs. start a medical file on yourself.

there are guidelines for md's to dx (diagnose) MS. it's called the McDonald Criteria. check that out.

sometimes it can take time to dx MS. and, it's often a process of ruling out other illnesses that can mimic MS.

keep a sx (symptom) journal with the date and sx you experience. it can help the dr with your history.

i hope you will find out what's wrong. don't give up trying. you are your own best advocate.
