Noah,

To make a diagnosis of MS, lesions (those brain spots) need to be dispersed "in time and space." This means that you need to have symptoms in at least 2 areas of your body at 2 different times.

I'd keep the f/u appointment in 4 months w the same neuro ( if he was a neuro) that saw you this time.

There are MS specialists with in the VA system. However, your symptoms could represent many, many conditions. Unfortunately, the "wait and see" mode is necessary.

Best to you,
ANN
