PLEASE know there are more dismissive MDs and more silly MDs than there are reasonable ones that "get it" or are willing to listen and understand. You can tell the ones that have never known a day of pain in their lives, and the ones that have broken a bone or lost something dear.

I want you to take time for you pity party. Have a blast! wallow in it, and let it sink in deep. Then the next morning, pull on your big girl panties, and either A. Call the MDs office back, make a new appointment, and discuss this with him about how inappropriate you feel this is, or B. Call around and get a NEW MD. Do you have a Gate Keeper on your insurance? If so, call them and ask them for a referral to someone who is accepting your insurance in your area. C. Call and MS clinic and get in as a patient. Even if it means you have to travel. Those folks get it most of the time. They can get you set up on a routine of meds, and be ready to help you negotiate this landmine disease.

Please, dont live your life in pain, just because one or two or twenty MDs are not listening. Keep firing folks till you run across one that is willing to hear you.

Im sorry he was so mean. no one should ask you to do suppositories unless you have a major vomiting problem.
