On when does TM become MS

My wife had her first episode at T-8 on September '97, and her neuro called
it TM.
She had a second episode in late January '99, this time in her neck,
between C-5 and C-6.
We were told that once one has another episode at a separate spot, it is
then 'multiple', ergo the change of dx.
After the second attack, she was put on prednisone starting at 60mg a day,
and tapering off.
She was also hospitalized for three days and given 500mg of
methylprednisone twice a day. To stabilize her, I guess. She is also to
start on Avonex as soon as the ins.co (scumbags) approve it.

Any comments from y'all out there.......????
