MS diagnosis: How long did it take for you?

Hi everyone,

Hope you're doing well today!

Getting a diagnosis for multiple sclerosis (MS) can be a long and complex journey. It often involves multiple tests like MRIs, lumbar punctures, and neurological assessments, and for many, it's a time filled with uncertainty and frustration.

So we'd love to hear from you:

How long did it take to get your MS diagnosis?

What was the most difficult part of that period?

Were there any particular symptoms or turning points that finally led to answers?
