Waiting for diagnosis confirmation

I had a phone call follow up appointment with my neurologist today. Both him and my family doctor highly suspects MS. major lesion in the center of my spine, a couple other small ones in my spine, and 4 in my brain. I have an appointment at an MS clinic on April 6th. I got an MRI done because back at the end of december 2021 I lost all feeling in my left leg, hip to toes. I couldnt feel any pain or hot/cold sensations. It lasted 9 weeks, I can feel things again now but its not 100% like my right leg...still feels...a bit off? if that makes sense haha since being suspected of having it I looked at the possible symptoms and check off a few on the list. 1)EXTREME fatigue, and I have had blood work done in the past to check iron lvs and stuff and it was all normal. seriously all i think about is sleep and If i can get a nap in during the day or not...sometimes more than one. 2)heat sensitivity, quite often I get super dizzy in the shower to the point of almost passing out, i have completely lost my vision multiple times for a couple minutes during those episdoes. 3) my short term memory is horrific (i only just turned 30) 4) i had eye problems back in November 2021, eye floaties that I never had before, they lasted about 10 days there is more too that I havent listed and i know not all of these could be MS, just some of the things i will be mentioning when I go to the MS clinic in april. Hopefully will have a confirmation on diagnosis or not.

I hope all goes well at your appointment tomorrow.

Hello @carrie191, I hope you're feeling OK. Confirmation of MS is usually finalised through a lumbar puncture. There are a few Canadians who use this site, so you have good company! Good luck for your appointment
