Went to my pcp yesterday thinking it was going to be the same ol' thing- continue treating symptoms without pushing for a clear dx. I prepared for this appt by writing down a few things that I felt most important to address and taking copies of medical records highlighting patterns of symptoms over the years. I was surprised when she agreed that we need to be aggressive in figuring this all out. She said she has a neurologist friend who specializes in ms that she wants me to go to because my current neuro is not digging for answers. I had another emg today as another piece of the rule out puzzle and now will be seeing my new neuro in two weeks. I am so happy that I have given my new doc a chance instead of giving up. We also talked about changing some of my meds that are not doing their job. Seems silly to be taking 15 pills a day & still feel so horrible! Someone on here reminded me that I am my best advocate and it gave me the strength to push forward and stand up for what I know to be right. Sometimes we all need to be reminded that this is a marathon- not a race...things don't always happen right when we need or want them to but there are always other options than giving up. Hope everyone is well today 😊
