I'm really surprised that you saw a MS specialist and she didn't order an LP.

Regardless, it sounds like she was extremely rude and condescending, suggesting that it was all in your head. That is a red flag to find a new doctor. You need to have a working relationship with a doctor who treats you with respect and can be empathetic. I'm sorry you experienced this.

I would look for a 2nd opinion. Are you in a big city? Are there other neuros who specialize in MS that you could see? If you live in a small place do you have the resources to travel somewhere else for a second opinion?

Others here might have suggestions on how to find a neuro who isn't a MS specialist but competent enough to help you.

Just because this woman is a MS specialist doesn't mean she is the "end all, be all." I saw an MS specialist at one point who put someone else's films up to read instead of mine and couldn't get her act together.

They aren't God just because they specialize in MS. I went through several neuros (including some who specialized in MS) before I found one who was amazing.

Good luck with everything.
