hi joy and welcome,
you can call 1-800-FIGHT MS. you'll be able to get the phone number of your
local MS chapter. call them and ask for some referrals for MS specialists in your area.

there is something called the McDonald Criteria in MS. this is information that drs look for in order to give a dx (diagnosis) of MS. i don't know a link but i'm sure you can google it. that might help.

please let us know how you're doing.
oh...keep a simple sx (symptom) journal with dates and the sx's you have.
drs find it helpful when they do a hx (history) and pe (physical exam).

ps...i like abbreviations. can you tell i'm a nurse?
