This is probably a question that many people have, but I just wanted to point out that Elle posted her question in Oct/06 so she probably isn't reading the answers any more.

Some people are hoping to hasten the attack by getting on steroids, and others avoid them like the plague. Whether we take them or not is very much a personal decision (not the doctor's), so I don't see there is a NEED, necessarily, to see a doc during an attack.

The longer one has had the disease, the less likely we are to be too terribly concerned with each change. If there is no desire for additional medications (or required testing), why waste both of our time?

if you are still undx'd then I would definetly call the neuro and get in - this could actually speed up your dx.

Just my opinion and your question was great because I think we all have it. The only thing is if you are dx'd the only thing they can do is steriods to try to help. Otherwise I just document it for the next visit.
