That's a tough one. I know that nurses in general have to advise people to go to the ER if they can't get you in and you are having problems. I've been blown off at the ER before, but I know of others who actually connected with a good neuro at the ER and have gotten answers.

Can't your PCP just order a new MRI for you with contrast even if the MS Clinic can't see you right away?

I totally understand the fear that nothing will show up and you will get brushed off.

Thanks Holly..

I've totally gotten the brush off before although I've never been to the ER about this...my previous neuro(Quack) said I was wasting his time and there was nothing wrong with me.. my specialist at the clinic 3 yrs ago had said that he couldn't rule out MS just yet as my sx weren't bad and nothing was showing up on MRI.. now I can hardly walk.. the only neuro here is the one who brushed me off..
