It took me EIGHT MONTHS to get an MRI here in Alberta. All in all it took 2 years to get my official diagnosis. That was after a bungled misdiagnosis of migraine aura 10 years before that (it was really MS optic neuritis). I even agreed to a spinal tap just to try and speed things up.

Because MS isn't usually life threatening, diagnosing us isn't considered high priority (IMHO). The McDonald criteria is also quite strict and often delays diagnosis because of the need for two distinct attacks separated in time.
