But by that time 1 1/2 weeks had gone by. I have to call primary dr today and see what he says.
Thanks for your questions and concern.

Her parting words to me when I finally saw her were "you have bigger problems than MS"....and that was the END of the appt. I have an appointment with a neuro/psych tomorrow. Lets see what he says. All I know is that I've been there for mri's, and seen dr a couple of times and they have not really told me anything. a couple lesions on brain, a couple on spine, old lesions, bla bla. But nothing except "here try this pill". I really had high hopes that this dr would work out.
But you are right, I will just do the best I can the next 3 mos and move on. Thanks so much for your concern and support.

So, she made an assumption based on a message she recieved from you through her assistant. She may have been covering herself in one respect but opened herself up to a possible lawsuit (medical malpractice). What if you didn't seize but had a stroke. She didn't know that. She just assumed.
Also, telling you that you have bigger problems than MS and just leaving you hanging like that was very unkind and somewhat harmful to your emotional state. I'd be asking her what she meant by that.
I'm so, so sorry you are being treated this way. It makes me upset to hear about the medical professionals treating patients this way. I am sure that if you called the DMV and stated that you don't know if you have a seizure and that the dr just made an assumption that you did without further testing, maybe they'll work with you or something. And, maybe, like Judy mentioned, once the 3 months is up you can find a new physician that will treat you much better.
Hang in there! I'm hoping and praying that all works out well for you.
