hi denise and welcome to NT,

i don't know what hashimoto's is but look around the forums and see if something seems to fit.

you can post an intro on the MS forum and you'll get lots of help and support.
write down your Q's so when you see the dr you can ask that specific Q. write down the answer. bring a friend or family member if possible as a 2nd set of ears.

also, start collecting copies of your records and mri's in case you see another dr. that will be important. when i see a new specialist i ask for a copy of the dr's dictation. it will be very helpful and you will learn a lot.

MS can take some time to dx (diagnose). it's a process of elimination sometimes. if your neuro exam is normal and you have no lesions on an mri your dr will likely want to watch you. keep a sx (symptom) journal with dates and the sx's you have.

begin to do some reading and research on MS and slowly you'll learn a lot and have a better understanding of the disease and what's needed to dx it.
hope this helps.
