At what point do you go for a 2nd opinion and how do you ask for one?
Hello All, I am new to the site...and MS. I have been dealing with Doctors for 3 years, mostly for Migraines, but with the presence of lesions and the most recent cognitive and physical issues that have been presenting themselves I think its time to go further. My neurologist is only looking at MS due to the shape, placement and pattern of my lesions, however has not given a diagnosis due to a normal results on the visual evoked and spinal tap. I do have numbness in my chin and surrounding face and neck and at times tingling in my back, right arm and hand. The worst is the cognitive. I don't trust myself talk anymore or my mood swings...all of which is new in the last few months.
Do I press the issue of a second opinion or do I sit and wait for whatever it is he's waiting for?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks again!
