I have a great neuro in Chattanooga who is fast becoming an mg expert based on the fact that he now has 6 mg patients and has learned a lot since I started going to him in 2005. That said, he was all for my going to Vanderbilt for a 2nd opinion. I saw Dr Amanda Pelltier at Vanderbilt Neurology. She works with the MDA clinic and has treated quite a few people with mg. She is the one who started me on Cytoxan as an alternative therapy which I am currently still on.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we all have to "shop around" and find the right neuro for us. Once we find that person, it becomes easier to manage this disease because that is one stress taken off your plate.

I would recommend you find your closest MDA clinic and give them a call to see if they can recommend a neuro who has handled mg. They should be able to at least start you in the right direction.

Good luck with your search.
