Default What should I expect from first neuro appt?

I've already had my MRIs before being referred to the neurologist tomorrow, but no other tests. I said this in the other thread, but to summarize... I have cervical transverse myelitis and a medical history that suggests MS or a mimic. The brain MRI was normal, only saw problems in the cervical mri. The MRI report said that 'lessens' the chance of a demyelinating disease, and implied a one time attack, but I have a history of other neurological episodes.

Are they going to do more tests at the first appt? Schedule them for later? Both? What tests do those of you with first hand experience think I should be getting? Bloodwork? Spinal Tap (scary)? Evoked potenials? Something else I haven't read about?

Just hoping for some sense of what to expect. I'm getting nervous now that the appt is less than a day away.
