First Neurologist Visit w Probable MS- What should I ask?

I am also "probable MS" due to lesions in MRI. Iwas supposed to see the neurologist next month, but they called and had to reschedule me for OCTOBER (like wtf?). Anyway, I'm keeping a daily journal of my symptoms. I also went back and pinpointed times and approximate dates where I believed there were possible flare ups. Obviously I'm not a doctor, but I have specific points in time where things changed for me.

At 8 years old I experienced a week long of debilitating pain that would shoot down my body from my neck. I remember screaming when my parents forced me to shower. I literally could no move any part of my body without excruciating pain. To this day, that is the most pain I have ever been in, and that's when I started dealing with chronic pain. Other loss of function, feeling, bladder issues, fatigue, and new pain have somewhat been documented in my medical record, so I summarized those. But thank you for asking this. I'm desperate to get a firm diagnosis and hopefully start treatment.
