Hi! Is this your first neuro app? If so it’s unlikely you will get a diagnosis that day I had 14 months from onset to getting diagnosed And that included 3 mris and a lumber puncture in between Hope you have a good neurologist x

Difficult to say. MS is diagnosed according to the McDonald criteria in the UK. This usually involves showing lesions in the brain and spine in space and time. Plus, excluding any other possible causes. To help the neurologist get to the bottom of things having a clear history of symptoms can be helpful. All the best.
