I didn't get a dx despite many symptoms until I had optic neuritis. As Sally said, this is often a first symptom to bring a diagnosis, partly because there are eye tests they can perform. The neuro-opthalmologist was the first doctor to dx me with MS.
I would have more confidence in the doctor if he didn't immediately jump to MS & blow off the fact that I am B12 deficient. When a doctor tells me it's impossible to be B12 deficient in this country, after I have already been diagnosed, it's time for a second opinion.
