Okay I went to the rhuemy today and was cleared for not having a rheumatoid disorder. Yippee...
But (I swear always another shoes to drop) it would appear as though my current meds still are not controlling the spasms that are literally ripping my joints apart. The rhuemy referred me back to the nuero, the neuro referred me back to my PCP, my PCP would rather I go through the neuro since it's the MS and she isn't a specialist in MS. She's familiar with it, yes, but has as much info on potential solutions as I have through the net. Now the PCP will work with me, and the rhuemy gave me a few suggestions. One: OT and braces, kind of regardless of what else they do treatment wise I need braces and not OTC braces. Two: the baclofen pump. Three: change muscle relaxants or Four: possibly all of the above in an inpatient OT center. So I can go to my PCP on Monday and present her with the options, but rather know she's going to look at me and ask which option I'd like. (Honestly, I want whichever option is going to help me in the long run) So out of curiosity if those were your options which would you chose? Or is it time to find a new neuro? I mean am I wrong to think that the neuro should be the one helping to find solutions for MS symptoms over the PCP? Aren't they supposed to know more about the treatments and therapies over a family practitioner since they're the "specialist"?
