Default multiple sclerosis?

Hi everyone, just got back from a visit to the GP to get a referral to his neuro friend. He came up with a new term, multiple sclerosis. Told me it could be this, or ALs, or one or two other kinds which he is currently suspecting. He's gonna leave it up to the neuro whom I am seeing tomorrow afternoon, so am wondering what should I be asking.

Tried doing a search on ALS and MS, both sounds pretty similar, except that ALS is sort of diagnosed using EMG, while MRIs are useful in MS. One good thing tho, is that MS can be sort of controlled using medications. Am still amazed that my diagnosis has turned from MG to thyroid/MND/MS/ALS into possible ALS, then back to MS/ALS/MND. I just like to see if anyone here has any experience with this, and what should I know before I see the neuro tomorrow? Just so that he doesn't throw any terms on me which I have not heard before. Also, how do I differentiate between all these?

Would really appreciate if anyone can help!

P/S: I'm still reading all the posts! Just that am really tired nowadays so have not been posting.... Do hope this post finds all of you well and happy!
