Good luck to you, and I hope your wait for a diagnosis isn't too long. I'm new to this site, and I like it a lot. I was previously at a different MS site that I don't want to name. There were some nice people there but the rules were ridiculous, and one of my buddies brought me here, thank goodness. But without that place, I don't know how I would have learned much about MS, since I don't know anyone with it!

I wouldn't have had a diagnosis so quickly (five months) if it weren't for my wonderful PCP. I was ready to quit all the tests, and I was doubting myself, wondering if it was all in my head. He kept assuring me I wasn't losing it and kept pushing me until we found the answer. I have everything from the other doctors, neuro, MS nurse & MS doc, sent to him to make my life easier, and I see him once a month, if only to get my Vitamin D checked. I've had really bad PCP's before, including one several years ago who told me I had a clean brain MRI when it really showed two active lesions--and I really feel blessed to have found the doctor I have now.

I wish I would have thought about insurance more though. Not health insurance exactly, but things like long-term care and home health care insurance, just in case. I tried to get vision coverage and was denied as well, even though I've never had eye problems beyond needing glasses.

Let us know how things go, and welcome to the site.
