Hi all, I’ve been going through scans and tests for just over a year now after optic neuritis , I now have this letter and I’m still unsure if it’s official diagnosis, they have referred me to an MS nurse and said about treatment but the wording still doesn’t seem official? I have attached the letter if anyone has the time to look for me I’d be grateful. Thanks x
Not quite sure what you mean by ‘official’ but to me the letter read like a definite diagnosis from an NHS Neurologist and confirmation that you should start on a treatment plan. I can’t remember for sure what letter I received ( long time ago) but I think it was pretty much along these lines.
Sorry to hear that you have MS , as others say , welcome to the club.
For many of us, me included, it had been pretty clear what the problem was before all the tests were done and the results in and the diagnosis formally confirmed. In my own case, I was told I had MS before having the LP that the neurologist wanted on the record, but no one expected there to be any surprises from that, and there weren’t. It sounds to me as though that’s pretty much where you are now.
