Nope. I think it's because under 'warnings' on my diagnosis sheet, my neuro had mentioned 'smoker', 'birth control'. I seem to recall something about the BC pill and MS? Like they were looking for a link between those who develop MS and who were on the pill before? I don't know.

I think I'm dealing with some old quacks who are going by their idea of tradition.

Update: I called my gyno. He's STILL not back in his office following the fire. My GP is out till the 5th. Since I'm having a 2 month long flo issue, my LTD case worker at work told me to get my butt to the ER tomorrow and not come to work. She's fearful that I could pass out at work and I should get this looked into asap.
