Stephanie,

I was just dx'd in January 09 and I am on my 3rd Neurologist since July of 2006. The first two were just not a fit for me, as I felt like I was just a "folder" in their files, not a human being with a heartbeat. I suggest that you post a thread asking for recommendations of a good Neuro in your area...that is what I did and that is how I found my 3rd Dr. (thanks again Polar Bear! ) so keep looking until you find one that will explain things to you!

As far as being told that people with MS don't have tremors.....well that is not true! I have numbness, I have tremors and I also have headaches much more often than a couple of years ago. MS is not a "cookie cutter" disease, everyone is unique.

I know that you will find the "right one" too! Just don't give up and take the first interpretations as fact if you aren't comfortable with the Dr. You deserve to have your questions answered and your concerns addressed. Good luck to you!
