Sending hugs and good thoughts to Dejibo and Holly. I hope you both get though each day with very little problems. We are here for both of you, whine, rant, complain, because it helps.

We understand, we listen, we care. I know just going about your day is hard. I wish you both guidance and insight to make life better for both of you.

Dej, I had the best of the best MS specialist. Yet he was single minded. I just did things my way, because it was my body. After the fact, he had to listen. I got into another MS group of doctors. One is the head guy and he was so much more open to my opinions.

He did not force things down my thought. He offered his ideas only and listened to my yes or no's. No fighting. We don't go to the doctors to fight them, we feel like crap and they should know that, and adjust.

Many Neuro's have Psychiatry as a sub specialty, so they should be a little more compassionate, IMO.

My neuro is very similar. He tells me my options and gives his professional opinion and then it's up to me to decide if I want to go with his professional opinion or not. He never argues with me. He simply says if I change my mind let him know.

Recently, through his website, I found out he has sub specialty in Psychiatry. Funny...I have been a pateint of his for 25 years and didn't know that. He is a wonderful neuro with a great sense of humor, very kind and commpassionate. His daughter is also a doctor.
