Who is Diagnosed?

Last winter our wonderful Heather asked this same question and we had a fabulous response.  But, that post got very long and difficult to run through.  We have over a hundred very active members now and I would like to see the results again.  I should have all of this neatly in a notebook or a database somewhere, but, ya know, somehow my organizational skills have gone the way of the dodo bird.

Please, all of you who read this who have ever posted or might someday post:

Please give us

Your date of diagnosis:
Type of MS:
The med, if any you are on:
Time for first symptoms to diagnosis:
How many neuros before diagnosis:

We will all appreciate having the info so we don't have to constantly ask and feel like dufusses.

Thanks, and lets try to keep it bumped up.

It would be useful to compile this data into an excel spread sheet and attach to this thread.
this may be more useful for comparison purposes.
