BRAVO elinora - to me, this is the sign of a good physician. I just don't know how many of these type of doctors are out there.

I sincerely hope you will soon be able to find the doctor that is the best for you and your health needs. I am very grateful for my current neuro - and - I do believe that he is still learning about MG via verfiable medical information and my "subjective updates" regarding my health/life with myasthenia gravis. My neuro is a "generalist" neurologist (does not assert to be a specialist in any neurological area).

Before I became this doctor's patient, I was seeing a neurologist who lists MG as one of his "specialties". His rigid approach and expectations from his medical treatment was (to me) at times, perplexing. Upon leaving an appointment one day I was approached by another patient who expressed this same observation. An MG crisis (while under this specialist's care) and subsequent hospitalizaton in a hospital - which he did not have attending privileges to - is what generated my transition from one neurologist to another.

Hang in there, when the time is right, I believe you will find the right physician.
Thanks! I'm trying. I hope I'm answering correctly here. It's new and confusing.
