Hi, I was told I had MS on Monday and found out that my appointment is not until 9th January 2019. Is this a normal waiting time? I feel angry because I have so many questions and no one to give me the answers I need. Thanks.

hi

that is the normal amount of time for appointments, i’m afraid.

i got a letter through early this week for christmas eve.

christmas means a lot less to me these days but i’d have difficulty getting there so i phoned to cancel and now it’s 18th january.

you will get your answers and be introduced to your ms team.

stop fretting as it will make your symptoms worse.
