To think this is negligent

I was diagnosed with MS officially in early 2015.
I went to see my GP last Tuesday (4 business days) as due to continuing symptoms (difficulty walking, extreme fatigue among other things) I was pretty certain I was having a relapse of MS. (I had initially put the symptoms down in the beginning to another health issue and probably left it too long before I went to the dr.)
The GP agreed and said he would email my neurologist and he would most likely want to see me.
I didn't hear anything by Friday so sent an email to my neurologist myself. (His unit is closed over the weekend.)
I've still not heard anything.
I was reading that a relapse should I'll be treated as promptly as possible to prevent further damage. Is this correct?
I'm really starting to get worried now.

No you didn't - I assumed 😃

HappyHippy steroids won't prevent the damage - the MS society website has loads of info and is a great reputable source.
I know lots of neurologists - most are ok but there are definitely a few with a god complex! They are all very very busy though and the NHS services are really stretched so a decent bedside manner is hard to find in any consultant at the moment.
