I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. I would be so frustrated and upset.
The ON and abnormal brain MRI is what weighed heavily in my diagnosis. On twice actually.
I am very lucky to have found this doctor. Actually my PCP recommended him.
I am in Indiana if there are any limboers in this state trying to find a decent neuro.

Now, I'd guess a doc like that will also be competant and confident enough to treat you well.
Most of the neuros I've seen don't even know what a tyipcal lesion is. Mine are oblong and in the periventricular region - around a dozen of them. 3 prior neuros said these were not typical - and none of them could even agree where they were or how many.
And they wonder why I'm confused?
And after my neuro exam, the current doc said 95% sure it was ms. But without all the other tests confirming, no dx.
Seems to me the more technology is available, the less they rely on having to actually know anything themselves. |
