Advice wanted: what questions to ask

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of advice- I've been referred to a neurological opthalmologist following a bout of optic neuritis. Combined with other symptoms, my previous opthalmologist (last seen early march) has suggested I might have MS and referred me for an MRI and advised me to get referred to a general neurologist by my GP. I'm still waiting on the MRI appointment, and the neurologist have sent me a letter which basically says "we know you're waiting, but we're too busy to book you an appointment right now". Buuuut, I've got an appointment with the neurology opthalmologist later in this month. I was wondering if you guys had any advise on what to ask? My ON symptoms haven't really gone away, and tbh after reading more about it I don't really expect them to now. But is there anything else you think I should probe about? Thanks in advance :-)

Hi. Maybe you could ask what percentage of your optic nerves have been damaged in each eye ( that's a question I asked). I would write things down if I were you. Good luck🤞

@VanessaJ thanks for your response and advice- I'll take my notebook with me :-)
