A lot of other diseases mimic MS.

That being said, you just have to let him know that you want to take your diagnosis to the next level to rule out different things, just to get a good perspective. All may be treated in just the same manner, with all the medication you are currently getting. That is not the point.

Remember that the doctor is supposed to be a partner in your health, not an authority figure.

This approach has always worked for me. I am not shy about saying something if I get the feeling he is brushing me off. But I do not go on the attack, I am calm and consistent.

I do not have problems with my doctors...then again, I am an old lady!

He may want to refer you to a neurologist. Ask for a referral.
