I think it would be best to ask at our MS forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum17.html
from what I have read there, many waiting several years to get
a firm diagnosis.
MS can be a diagnosis of exclusion, but MRI's of the brain, spine and lumbar punctures often help solidify it.
Many people worry that they have some "awful" thing, when they get PN symptoms. PN is very common. There are more PNers in US than MS and Parkinson's combined.
