My neurologist won't make the diagnosis of MS despite everything I have and all the other doctors' opinions and diagnoses. I have asked him many times if I am being "damaged more" by not being diagnosed and not being on MS meds. He tells me that the meds are very dangerous and that he prefers to use them on only serious cases. I guess the question is, are you a serious case because you don't get the meds. Everything is a mystery.

I would not continue to see this doctor without at least consulting a MS specialist for a second opinion.
