I only questioned my present Neuro of three years, twice. She asked if I was interested in Ty, I said no. Then last visit she asked if I was interested in Ampyra, again I said no.

She knows, and believes, by testing me, that LDN has helped me more in the last 6 years than anything I was on previously, so it is not an argument, more like a discussion. She lets me know my options but doesn't bark orders.

If she feels the need to go into more depth about something, then we discuss that also. She called my PCP to have LDN prescribed for me in 12-08.

Well, it is up to me, not her, she doesn't have MS, I do. I know she is a keeper. I like her attitude and she gives full, complete exams each time. Not big on MRI's, until I did so well on LDN that she checked for progression, there was none. Oh happy day.

Don't get me wrong, I still have lots of MS problems, but I deal with them as best I can. I try meds, if they don't help, why waste the time, money, and side or after effects?

I would not have a doctor ordering me around, just to please their ego or push drugs. I have been lucky most of time when I had to switch Neuro's.

I have had some green (not knowledgeable) ones, and some "My way or the Highway ones." They became my one or two visit Neuro's, and then I was out searching for a new one in my medical plan.

Patients have rights too.
