He stressed to me that I should live a normal life and relax about this stuff. He wants to see me in 4 months to talk, and then in about 10 months for a follow up MRI. The one thing he suggested was to take 2000 units of Vitamin D3 each day and skip the Omegas.
Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? What should I be doing? I look forward to talking with everyone.
Thanks,

Hi Noah,
You are not railroaded into depending on VA for your healthcare! Unfortunately you might have to pay for a second opinion "on the outside" but imvho it would be well worth it.
Personally I believe the sooner we identify MS and start treating it the better and I do not understand your Dr.'s claim that starting a medication now might inhibit your body's future response to a better medication if something better becomes available.
In any event like the others said it often takes time to get a firm diagnosis but I would want to do whatever I could to advocate for answers for myself. Best of luck to you and I pray it isn't MS for you. Jules
