What happens now? MS confirmed

Hi all

Seen on the online system letter from the consultant to doctor confirming MS.

I need to see rheumatology due to a finding of p ANCA in my blood.

But what happens now ??
Apart from seeing the letter online nobody has told me I have MS and not due to see consultant until May.

Should doctor or consultant let me know results??

Hi Teddy, yeh it would be good to be told face to face that you have MS.

Do you think the ms nurse should contact me?

Next appointment with consultant is not until May.

I’d ask your GP or the hospital to escalate your appointment so you can see a neurologist as soon as possible and potentially start treatment? That’s what I did. Only recently diagnosed so not sure if it’s right. But may is a long time, and too long to be waiting if you can help it, in my opinion. I did that and then had an appointment within two weeks. :woman_shrugging:

I agree i need to start treatment.

I think the delay will be that I need to see rheumatology due to a finding of p ANCA in my blood.

So although they had said MS think i will need to go round another loop before treatment.
