My issue is more with the risk.

My question is so what if the neuro confirms MS, then what happens? I've been wondering "IF" I have it, I haven't really looked into what happens next, lol.

I was fairly certain after some research that I did that I had PPMS, after being finally told that it now looks like my mystery illness looks like a neurological problem.

I had also looked at the recommended treatment, none? I could easily accept that, it seemed better than the limited options offered give the risks associated with them.

It will be a lot harder and more costly to get insurance after a diagnosis of MS? Some are willing to try anything? I like to see a 50/50 chance of help at least.
