i was diagnosed (dx'd) without a spinal tap, however, i did end up having O-bands. i had sx's (symptoms), an abnormal neuro exam and lesions shown on MRI.
you might want to consider a 2nd opinion.
it can take time to dx MS. lesions may not show up for several yrs depending on your condition, any flares etc.
did your dr try to rule other diseases by exam or labwork?
MS can mimic other illnesses.
keep a sx journal. if you develop other sx's it may help your dr follow your history. keep sx's and dates in a little notepad.
