Lucky one?

After reading so many stories of people having to wait so long for a diagnosis, I feel that I must have been very lucky. As I was taken to hospital with a suspected stroke on the 7th of August and diagnosed with RRMS 10th of September. Although I have many old lesions on the MRI results I must have been lucky to get seen by the right doctor,as he didn't want to discharge me without all the required tests and scans done..

yes, initially had a ct scan. discovered it wasn't a stroke. so the next day had an MRI. That's where they found more than a few lesions. So had a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and a contrast MRI with the dye.
