Has anyone gotten a second opinion? If so was it through another doctor in your network or an MS speciality center?

@A MyMSTeam Member you've put this whole six weeks into a perspective that really made me sit back and think. My doctor has been very open to me asking questions. Although I've never heard this response from him, which would have helped put me at ease. Having new and strange symptoms that I've never experienced has been scary and frustrating. I know I'm very blessed to be experiencing much less than others and still be at a point of not being diagnosed, therefore maybe not having it. Still, I find it difficult to deal with it at times so I'm glad to have found this group and people like you. Thank you. I appreciate you.

I was diagnosed by a regular neurologist, then got 2nd opinion with MS specialist. I now only see the specialist. They know so much more about MS.

My Neuro took it upon herself, without my request, to set up a second opinion. which confirmed MS.

Ah, I see, I had 7 lessons, which is still a small amount compared to most, just hang in there, you never know, if the spinal tap shows inflammation then usually they can make a diagnosis based on that.

I changed my neurologist three times to find one who one enough to give me the correct diagnosis. If your not happy with the results your neurologist gave you, then find a new one.
