Hey,
I’m new to the forum but have been on my MS journey for about 18 months now. There’s been a lot of talk about high risk of developing MS, and discussions between my GP and neurologist about the highly likelihood given tests and symptoms, but I am still very much in the dark about what is happening.
I received a letter for an appointment with my neurologist which will be this week, and I originally thought it was for a further MRI to look for new lesions, but it’s a clinic appointment.
Please would you share your diagnosis stories, i.e. how you were diagnosed, what was said, what followed etc.
I’m feeling really lost and anxious and would appreciate any insight you might have.
Thank you 
it doesn’t help with the anxiousness does it. I was just diagnosed officially at the end of July this year,though it was first mentioned to me as a possibility last October by my GP My diagnosis went: mentioned by gp - saw a neurologist who gave me a check over and lots of questions etc - mri scan - another neurologist appointment to show me scans and say I had lesions on brain and one big one on spine - optic neuritis eye test - a phone call to say results - appointment where it was confirmed I had MS There was obviously a few weeks between each, while thing took about 10 months. I kind of knew after getting eye test results I was going to be diagnosed as it confirmed a painful eye I’d had previous summer had come from damaged nerves, so would be counted as my second attack, and I think they look for 2 confirmed attacks to confirm diagnosis along with mri scan results etc. Hope this makes sense I’m typing on my phone with a sleeping toddler on me lol. I hope you get results soon it’s awful being stuck in limbo waiting to find out isn’t it
