That is exactly my point. I have twice called my local NMSS. The first time I was looking for an MS Specialist in my area. They instead sent me a list of every neurologist in the state; except of course for the actual MS Center in Norfolk! That one was not listed.

The second call I had a question about how to determine the difference between a residual effect of a flare and a continuation of same flare... and I was told to call my neuro and ask her.

Don't get me wrong, I am sure they do tremendous things for a lot of people, but the "local" office here is over 50 miles from me and I have not recieved anything from them aside from requests for donations.

Which is why I would donate to the local MS clinic or the colleges that are doing MS research before I give money to the NMSS.
