Diagnosis <> Medication?

Hi guys ❤️♥️ Just wanted to ask you how long after being diagnosed did your doctor put you on meds? My doctor still doesn’t want to put me on anything, even though my symptoms are worse then before. Help? SOS?

Diagnosis query

Hi All I've had an MRI do determine if I have MS, it was said by the radiologist to be clear, however, I am seeing the neurologist on Monday. My question is, will the neuro be better to diagnose MS and if it is still clear then what? Can you suffer with MS and have nothing show on an MRI?
