First neurology appointment after ms diagnosis...

Hi I just wondered what I should expect on my first neurology appointment, will it be to discus/ start treatment? They diagnosed me only by MRI and said I had multiple many lesions on brain and neck. Any advice please thankyou. X

My first one was just to go over my issues. If I understood my diagnosis and information on possible treatments. 11 months later I had a other mri and found to have four new lesions on my brain so was seen again just to tell me that my ms was very active. Then the ms nurse was the one I seen to sort out which of the medications looked like a good option. Then blood test to check for the JC virus .. which I was positive for so ruled out one of the medications KESIMPTA as you cant have that being JC virus +. Once choosing the one i wanted out of the recommended ones it took another four months before I started treatment
