Sounds like you need a second opinion.....and possibly a new neurologist. Was this the neuro that diagnosed your MS?

I'd make sure what they gave you in the ER was the correct steroid and the correct dosage.

And the ER giving you someone else's blood work results???? That hospital is in some deep doo-doo because of that......unless you help them keep it "quiet". I hate ER's....I try not to go to them if I have any other choice. All the doctor's I've seen in the ER are clueless about MS and just want to give pain meds until you're unable to argue back then send you home.

I hope you're feeling better after some rest.

Yes, I'm going to see a new neurologist on November 10th.

I will be taking the blood work that they sent me home with to the hospital administrator, no covering that up. They didn't even put a stupid bracelet on me last night!

I'm hurting again just as bad tonight.

I will probably be at urgent care tomorrow, I don't think I will be able to wait for Monday to see my pcp.
