Finding a good doc is worth the time , be it GP, neuro, even chiro or phys therapist...

Some just have horrible attitudes and won't even listen to your point of view.
Many won't even consider any kind of alternative care options...
MDs seem to be programmed to rx a pill or do surgery and that's is it.

My first neuro was a condescending jerk and I fired him after two appointments. Find yourself a better neuro, you deserve it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Some people need a pat on the head......with a hammer.

Find another doc, sweetie. His attitude is unacceptable.

I'm going on Wednesday morning for my brain and spine MRI. With and without contrast. Let's hope there are no more holes in my head.

I'm hoping the Neuro will let me know the results over the phone....because I'm not going back to see him.

After this MRI scan is complete and I know he has the results I'm going to request copies of my records and scans. I'm looking for a new doctor before y next appointment is due.

Kel...Poor hon sounds like your neuro got the added letters to his MD degree...A.!.S.*&#$...

I think you need to take your DS with you next time. I bet he won't talk to you like that then...or if he did, have your DS ask him who the he77 he thinks he is...

Grrr....wish I were closer to you. I"D go with ya...

Definitely get another doc...

Got a call from the nurse today. They received my MRI results and the doctor had reviewed them. She said that he had written "multiple enhancing new lesions. Advised to resume Betaseron therapy ASAP."

So, I have more lesions than I did before. I knew I probably would. This makes me wonder if the LDN I'm taking is doing me any good. When I stopped taking it for my surgery I didn't take it for a couple of weeks and didn't notice one way or the other. It's time for me to refill my prescription but I'm having doubts about it now. Plus, I'm wondering if the surgery caused this flare up I'm supposedly in right now.

Sorry to hear that there are more things on your MRI to worry about. Are you going to keep this current Neruo? You are in my prayers kitty. Please be good to yourself. I also hope there is other medications that may help you since your current one you are calling into question. ginnie

Did you do ok on Betaseron? If so, then I hope you'll start it again soon. LDN is for symptom relief isn't it? I've never heard of anyone using it as a disease modifying drug, or that it works that way. Take care sweetie.

Finding a good doctor is so hard! It's like dating, the first date may go well and them bomb on date 3 or 4. Or date 1 they sound good but never follow through or ring back when they should.....

Finding the right one is important though!

And I had horrible reactions to the interferons. Now they think I don't have MS but those things where vial to my system

Out with the old doc, in with the new doc. With his smart-alecky manner and his disrespectful attitude I can’t see him doing you any good what so ever. You as patient have every right to overrule his medical opinion. He, on the other hand, has no right to try to punish you with rudeness for your decisions.

I urge you to do what I do at the slightest negative feedback from a doctor. I yell at the top of my voice, “NEXT!” Neurologists are a dime a dozen. Get a new one. If you don’t like the new one, fire his or her axx too. You are in charge here.
