hi jodi,

i don't want to cause you more anxiety but tomorrow is thurs and if your dr is just getting back from vacation you may not hear anything til next wk. or, his office might want to set up an appt in person so he can talk to you and decide what the next step is.

since you're new to this i would start a medical file on yourself. it will be so helpful down the road if you see any new drs. and for yourself. best to have all the documentation yourself in case drs don't keep track of it. i know from experience. you have a legal right to get copies of test reports and copies of cd's for mri's etc. you may have to sign a release or even go down there. call ahead.

if some of your lab levels are low ask about tx (treatment). i was tx'd with vit D and b12 also to correct low levels.

it's hard to know about what neuro is the best. you can call your local MS society and they will send you names of neuros and MS specialists. i always think it's wise if you get a serious dx (diagnosis) to get a 2nd opinion. again, get copies of medical files. they all will want to especially see the mri.

sorry this is so long. keep us posted.
