The guy who told me I was "too old" had a copy of my MRI in front of him with 12 lesions on it. A long history on paper of sx and issues. He was dimissive and rude. After talking to many other of his patients, I have decided that its just "HIM" it wasnt me.

Years ago after having headaches, dropped foot, and optic neuritis the MRI according to my MD shows "WNL" or within normal limits. I was given an anxiety lecture, and told to go home, with a bottle of Xanax. I was sent to see someone about migraines, who told me my headaches didnt fit the normal pattern of migraines, and he felt that I was "malingering" another good term.

After taking a full retirement and moving to the back woods of hickville. I saw a local MD who said "WAIT!" he did a massive exam, including calling for my old films, which clearly showed lesions, and sx way back when, and insisted that I get into the big boy MRI, not the open one, have contrast, and a follow up. What a difference from being dismissed to being believed. I had long since given up on getting any proper attention, and had even convinced myself that i was just "high strung"

Its all in your head...yep, most MS is.
