dear scrapi (can i call you that?),

i think for right now you need to hang in there with this dr. but, i would make it a priority to find someone else. your local MS society can help with referral names.

i was in intense muscle pain and my neuro referred me to a rehab pain dr.
he did a lot for me. it took a lot of work but between meds and PT i got a lot better.

i won't lie. i'm still in a lot of pain but i can tolerate it. however, the more the day goes on the more i hurt. heat helps me. i get wkly massages too. sometimes meds just don't work the same for people. you may need to try some different muscle relaxants til one works for you.

you can always write your dr a letter (typos and all) and maybe you'll get your note and some attention. tell him how you feel and what you want from him.

keep us posted please.
