I'm really sorry to hear that he was a jackbutt One of the most discouraging things out there. I've had a few. Even my neuromuscular dr that I see, (and is my #1 guy we go to), when I first met him, I wasn't sure about him either. He was very "yes, no" answers type of guy, wanted to know when every thing started at the exact date, exact time. He didn't come off very friendly at first, and my family and I (my parents were with me) weren't sure what to make of him after that visit. The 2nd visit came, and he was a bit warmer, but he seems to like me a bit because I am young and an interesting patient (being 26, having these symptoms etc and he mostly works with elderly ALS patients), and because we found a similar interest between each other so there's kinda something else to talk about.


We did go in there saying that we had very strong feelings that it was MG, but we also had reference from the local neurologist to back that up our pre-diagnoses.


Hope you find another one who's a bit more personable
