I'm so sorry this happened to you. You were looking forward to this visit too. Have you thought about participating in some type of study? Your care would be free and you actually get excellent care and more thorough exams. It's just an option if you feel like being a guinea pig. The one I did was pretty mild and only entailed taking Copaxone and either a steroid or a placebo (you didn't know which you received, or so they said but I had side effects like you get on steriods so who knows). Anyhow, my MRI's, blood work, exams, etc. were all free.

Anyhow, it is all in your head and spine too. We all get that and understand.
