Welcome to the forum. Sorry it had to be under these circumstances. Yes get all the ins. you can before an official diagnosis. You pretty much have to be destitute for alot of the payment assistance programs. Do alot of research on the meds cause they are expensive. Having MS is expensive; physically, mentally and monetary wise. I know waiting on a definitive diagnosis is nerve racking. But it's better to have your ducks all lined up before you take a shot. I have health ins. and the co-pays are killing me. What they charge for an MRI will buy a nice used car. I'm complaining only paying my deductible and co-pay. Imagine if you have to pay $10K for an MRI. Or the full price for a DMD. You're looking at over $30K a year. Gilenya is about $165 a pill and they're being investigated due to some deaths.

Good Luck!!
