But, to be honest with you, I didn't think he did. I think he is a very nice and caring physician that really wanted to help, but has a very superficial and limited understanding of the complexity of neurological diseases.

I agree with Tatia, that some of what you experience fits movement disorders. What is termed "movement disorders" is usually the result of a brain lesion that leads to loss of the normal control and co-ordination. Many times you can temporarily over-ride it by strong cues. For instance patients with Parkinson's disease who can hardly move, will run when they see fire.
Or patients with Tick disorders can "hold" them for a while, but then they will burst out.

There is a nice study that shows the use of guided imagination and various relaxation techniques leads to decreased tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease, probably again by stimulating other parts of the brain that over-ride the abnormality.

This is not "mind over matter", but a physiological response of the brain.
I think that possibly what you need is not a specialist, but a good general neurologist who has a good understanding of MS, MG and movement disorders. Someone who will see you as a full person and not an EMG result.
