I am fortunate to live in a little town, but am very close to Grapevine and Dallas, so good docs very close by. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to find a good neurologist...there are a lot of bad ones out there....not necesarrily quacks...just not good bedside manner. It's scary and you need a supportive doc. I know my ms is hard on my husband AND my kids....I hope he gives a good referral right away. When I was first diagnosed back in '93 it all went pretty fast. MRI, blood tests and lumbar puntur..Wallah...MS
Good luck
