Well, the list is long lol. I'm not sure what to do about that as it is a very strange history, and I have symptoms. I would have thought he would want as many pieces to the puzzle as I can give him? If not, what's the point of going to the doctor, right?

Good luck at your appt. and please let us know how it goes.

Sally's right tho yeti about keeping it short. Ive seen over 10 neuro's in my MS journey and only 1 was interested in my long hx. If MS is suspected, do yourself a favor and find an MS specialist. If you have an MS clinic in your area, that would be good. A general neuro I have found in my personal experience, is not great at treating or even dx'ing MS. Hopefully its not MS, but if it is, there's a great bunch of folks here to support you. Good luck to you

I'll try to shorten it. So disappointing that they wouldn't even read/listen to you. I have no idea how any doctor could think he could do his job without listening.

Hi Yeti and welcome to the group! Your history sounds familiar with all the various symptoms, etc. My GP always said I was a challenge. After finally getting the "official" diagnosis of MS, it all seemed to make sense....of course I had to have Fibromyalgia thrown in there too.

Good luck with your neuro appointment Friday. I hope you get some answers. Please keep us in the "loop", take care.

This latest episode, with at least some mri evidence, has kind of connected a lot of weird dots. We'll see. Thanks for all the support and advice.

The idea is, that most Neuros/Docs are proud little Gods, who like to think they are the ones who come up with the DX. If you come in with it all mapped out for them, it's messes up their day.

Be gentle..lol
