A every one says need a Neurologist yet the swing time is over 18 months
I need lots MRI scans but only to say if I got something else wrong .
Hi and welcome,
!
I am sorry you are dealing with an MS diagnosis. Being newly diagnosed can be such an overwhelming time.
The wait time to see a neurologist can be long, so you may ask to be put on a cancellation list, where the office can call you if someone cancels and you may be able to get an much earlier appointment. If you are outside the USA, it may be different and please keep in mind that I noly have a basic understanding of the health care/insurances ins-and-outs in other countries. Sometimes, other doctors besides a neurologist can request an MRI for you. Also, there are many general practitioners that are quite knowledgeable on MS.
Are you able to see any doctor or get on any medications at this time?
