And as others have said your neuro is probably going by the McDonald Criteria and doesn't feel you "fit" yet.

Transverse Myelitis has the same spinal lesions, and it presents
exactly as molpep has described her Nov attack. It can be idiopathic, but ends up as MS dx a good % of the time too:

O-bands can be found in other diseases, as can various shapes/sizes of brain lesions. He would want to be sure they are the "MS" variety . . .
I think you are right, Snoopy, he may be waiting for the second attack or change in MRI (McDonald criteria).
