My Neurologist likes me to bring a loved one with me to meetings. That way they can tell on me. It is easy to forget what is going on with ourselves.

Until your neurologist has diagnosed MS then they would not be able to prescribe treatments specifically to treat MS. However, you can always highlight symptoms you are currently experiencing and ask if they can recommend treatments you can try to alleviate symptoms whilst you are waiting to learn more. They may be able to write to your GP to ask them to prescribe certain treatments.
