Default Going to ER???

Just called MS clinic to see if I could get my appt pushed up it's May 3rd..they are triple booked.. spoke to nurse she said to go to ER...

I'm 5wks in numbness in leg and difficulty with left arm.. I really don't know what to do.. doubt that I will get a dx from ER...I mean I don't really need the ER neuro to say.."there is nothing wrong with you" my pcp suspects MS and I would really rather see a MS specialist... don't know what to do... any advice?? My concern is what if they only do 1 MRI and don't use contrast? At least with a specialist my testing would be more in depth.. lumbar puncture etc.. this MRI would be sent to my pcp who will probably say "there is nothing wrong with you" so frustrated don't know what to do..very shaky today..I mean I have had sx for 10 yrs just afraid nothing will show up and I won't get answers...sorry for the rant..
