misshayleesmom,

I see that you are from Ontario...much the same nonsense goes on here in B.C. with specialists. There are long waits to get in to see a specialist (sometimes over a year), and then when you finally get in to see them, it can mean more waiting to get tests done, then more waiting to get to see the specialist again to get the results and treatment.

I go between my MS neuro and my PCP, because I often can't see or even speak to the neuro for months.

After I told my PCP "I really need your help, because I can not see my neuro often enough to have continuous care, or get help from him when I need it", he woke right up and became more interested in helping me.
We're trying different medications now to get some symptom relief.

You might try going back to your PCP and telling him something along those lines.

I've said it before, the Canadian medical system isn't all that it is cracked up to be...

With love, Erika
