I have to go home tomorrow, my family can't stand to be without me another day apparently! I have a video conference appt with the original dr on Wed and I will definitely be letting him know. I also deadpanned it into every other drs appt I had - you know, like, "Well, I really need your expertise since the MS specialist says I have no neurological disorders AT ALL, so maybe my symptoms are something in your field," when my primary symptoms are so obviously neurological that all the other docs were left scratching their heads and trying to keep a straight face.

I'm thinking I may make another trip up here in the future, depending on what the MRIs I had yesterday turn up I guess. I was not able to get into the Spine Center, which I desperately need as I've had back problems since I was 13. Maybe in 6 months or a year, I'll come back for that, and see a different neuro.

Pretty much all the other drs were great. The rheumatologist was wonderful, and the "women's health" counselor was fantastic! The rheumo started me on Plaquenel which may help with some of my other symptoms if I'm lucky.

I don't know what it is about neuros, but they seem more prone to having a God complex than most other specialists for some reason. My DH speculated that they don't like to dx MS because they can't really do anything for it. And I'm guessing there's no money in it. I know the guy that hacked me off has a research grant to study something that affects the optic nerves other than MS, so I guess I didn't fit his research parameters.
