Look! HIS JOB is to find out what is wrong with you. You obviously have much better things to do with your life than to spend about two hours for the total process of seeing a neuro.

Press him regarding your tests and results. What does he "suspect" may be the cause of your symptoms? What can he do about it? What other tests are necessary to get a determination?

Of course all of the above are based on the fact that you may not have had a full blood workup to rule out other diseases and conditions that would mimic MS symptoms. If you're not happy with his responses and you feel like you're being put off then I would suggest finding another neuro.

Be your own best health advocate. Go for it!
