My DH is not being very supportive right now.

My DH has no empathy and it makes me very angry. I have no empathy from anyone but my twin sister but she is frustrated with me right now because she wants me to get a second opinion but my DH won't see of it and thinks that my current neuro is right on the nose with his dx-nothing. He dx'd me with migraines but we knew I already had headache problems which needed to be addressed and that wasn't what I really went to see him so he downplayed all of the other symptoms that I had which really upset me.

I saw a different neuro at the other hospital in our city and had a very bad experience with the guy. After hearing what you all had to say I will take a break from this doctor thing. But, I hope that in the meantime, hopefully my DH will come around. I feel like I have absolutely no hope and am cornered with this health issue due to my DH's stubborness.

Also, the neuro clinic we are at is a MS specialty clinic but obviously the neuro that I am seeing isn't one of the specialists that is one of the MS doctors. He has a nice bedside manner but otherwise, I don't know what to think about him due to his decisions. I'm very frustrated- yes indeed.

This community here is very supportive and caring. Even though I don't know where I belong and feel like I belong on the Island of Misfit Toys it is nice knowng that I'm accepted here. Thank you for your kindness.

I'm sorry your DH is not being supportive. Why does he have to "approve" a second opinion?? It's your health that's being evaluated here, not his.....he can either be supportive or not......but if it were me I'd carry on with finding another Neuro and seek your sister's support while doing it since she agrees with getting a second opinion.

I hate it when doctor's downplay sx just because they're too egotistical to admit they don't know what's wrong. A good doctor will admit to not knowing and work to find a way to figure things out. Unfortunately, they are few and far between.

Good luck to you!! And you're always welcome here.....never think that you aren't.
