It might be time for you to ask to be refered back to a neuro - insist that you are refered back, you have justifiable concerns, if for no other reasion than to rule it out!
good luck & KBO

Hi Heather and welcome to the site
I completely agree with Clare - time to bang on desks and insist on seeing a new neuro. Go for an MS specialist - your family history makes it more likely that your symptoms are due to MS. It might not be, but there is no way that you should be being dismissed with all that going on!
Good luck!

I am forever forgetting things. I set reminders for almost everything - I even have reminders on my phone and laptop to take paracetamol on Rebif days!
Don’t be too hard on yourself.
