Seems he might have a bit of a GOD complex going on, doesn't it? I wonder how many people have gone to new Neurologists since he came to town.
However . . . I really do hope his new dx is correct, and that there are a lot of people in that area that are no longer living in fear of their future.

I wonder if he makes everyone go through all four tests? I bet even I wouldn't fail them all ... or at least I wouldn't have 5 or 6 yrs ago, and by that point I already had MS for 14 - 27 yrs. That obviously doesn't mean I don't have MS.
Not that one is necessary, but I wouldn't let him do a spinal tap anyway . . . so does that mean I could go back into denial?
