Just a thought.....you may want to consider getting any type of insurance you don' t have now....before you get a diagnosis.
Life Insurance/disability etc get very tough and or expensive after a diagnosis.
Remember Multiple Sclerosis stands for Multiple scars. My diagnosis was made because of multiple lesions, symptoms spread out over time (meaning numb in this place one year then numb in another place another year) etc.

Thats about it for my diagnosis. Everything else was ruled out first (B12 and Lyme's). There are other things that mimic M.S., but they don't give you lesions on the brain or spine. M.S. lesions are typically called "lesions consistent with a demylenating disease" on the report.....sometimes they say "consistant with M.S."
Monday is a holiday. Hold off til Tues afternoon and see your insurance man Tuesday morning (just in case). Personally I bought Life Insurance at a much better rate before my diagnosis. Now the M.S. is not a terminal disease, but it makes getting certain insurances expensive.
Let us know what your Neuro tells you. I'm sure he/she will want to see you in person and not discuss the finding over the phone. Big Hugs and don't panic!
