MsBee,
That VER tech was just plain irresponsible. You are right, everyone has a different course, we are not cookie cutter cases of MS. He/she needed a lesson in compassion and literature about MS. I am glad your neuro took care of the reprimand. That doesn't happen very often!
I am sorry this happened to you. Being DX is scary enough without someone so irresponsible adding misinformation to the mix.
