Thank you, over 10 yrs ago I was diagnosised with Fibro and soon after I had to switch providers. My next GP told me that there was no such thing as Fibro and to just get over it and push through everything.
I guess there are times that I wonder, nothing shows up on my tests (bloodwork), they all say I'm healthy...sometimes I wonder what is going on. Am I unbalanced? I find it very hurtful that he said that. I don't like the life I am living, I don't like that I can no longer ride, hike, camp, do what I want, I don't want to be sick...
And what does a neuro know about psychology? let alone after a short visit.
I think what set him off is that I brought George (service dog in training) and that on the way to arranging everyone in the small space, George sniffed him. Maybe it was that I had a list of things that has been happening over the last 5 months. He snapped when I questioned him. . .I don't know. . .
I found another neuro and went today, but didn't realized with my second insurance that I needed a referral from THEIR people to to use the insurance and that I couldn't pay out of pocket instead....weird...Hopefully I didn't leave a bad impression because of that.

I wish you luck with the new doctor. And as far as the MRI, it is perfectly fine to ask for an MRI with and without contrast. There is nothing wrong with a patient being educated!!
