Aww Natalie,
I do wish you luck on your visit! I really can't say anything about the Neuro. visits because I struck out on three Neuros. My first one is kinda young and seem inexperienced and has to look some things up on the internet. The other two (one was the MS clinic in Atlanta) and the other another Neuro were just plain mean and evil and gave me the idea that I should just suck it up and deal with the MS.

So.. I went back to #1 even though I havent seen him in months. I was on betaseron but my insurance stinks and I'm not going to pay out of pocket so I'm waiting for the betaseron need-assistance program to call me back and also applied for the oral research study in Atlanta. So, I have just been taking a lot of vitamins and resting and taking Baclofen for spasms so I don't get those evil things again.

Don't worry about the lesions in your brain, I heard somewhere that we only use 10% of it I might only use 2%..so that's plenty of room for lesions. My biggest worry is my lesions in my neck which I think is the reason I became numb and hypersensitive on my left side. It's a little better but I don't think I'll ever fully recover from that.

Just like everyone said, bring a list of things you want to speak to the Neuro. about and relax.. take a deep breath and don't get yourself too hyped up because I think it's the fear of the unknown thats worrying you more than what the reality could be and remember we are here for you and we care about you..and please tell us how it goes!
