Thank you, I'll print out that list and bring it with me. It's the VA, but I'll see if I am not satisfied with them if they will send me to a specialist, or at least a referal if I have to pay out of pocket.
George (my doggie) is awsome. When I started tipping over with the cane that was given to me by my GP for the dizzy spells, he stepped up and helped. He is MUCH more fun than a walker and more reliable (if I start to tip he either supports or pulls in the opposite direction) and he seems to be alerting before I have a fatigue wave and allows me to get to a safe spot to collapse in. The other day I went to get up (I thought I was good enough to go), he crawled into my lap and made his head weigh 30 lbs and gave me the "look". He was right, I had a second, worse, wave about 5 minutes later.

The road to an MS diagnosis can be one full of frustrations and aggrevations. As I tell loads of folks, if you feel your current MD is being dismissive or simply isnt hearing you, its time to change MDs.
There are tons of MS centers. NMSS.ORG has a good list. You said you are going to see a neuro. Tell him that if he doesnt think he can fully diagnose you, to please refer you to one of those clinics.
I hope you get answers.  |
