I'm seeing a neurologist next Monday for possible MS. I've had chronic arm pain for years, parasthesias, and more recently problems with my legs, including lack of balance, and with my eyes, including burred vision and a washed-out look to colors. I've already seen a rheumatologist, who ruled out autoimmune disorders like lupus, and two physiatrists, who ruled out problems with the spine and extremities (i.e.: EMG/NCV of peripheral nerves were normal). I'm hoping to not be diagnosed with MS, of course, but am concerned that I may be.
Is there anything anyone here would suggest I do beforehand to get the most out of my appointment.
Most of us avoid saying anything about researching anything online or anything like that. It is usually best to try to develop a relationship with the doctor. Having the time line of symptoms and doctors you have seen and what they ruled out may help.
