Welcome...lots of info and support here...

I agree with Kicker. Before you get diagnosed, GET INSURANCE! I can no longer get life insurance or long term insurance (for nursing home, home care, etc) due to the dx of MS.

It will be much less expensive if you get private health insurance now.

Once you get it, obtain copies of your records of all tests and reports from your doc.
Keep a sympotm journal of dates of onset of symptoms, and when they go away.
Also list questions for your doc appointments.

Then...find a neurologist who is well-versed in neurologic diseases like MS.

Good luck...keep us posted...
