Went to 9 mo. neuro appt. today. Was dreading it b/c Tamara, the really nice PA, no longer works there. Hardly have talked to the doc and knew he had no bedside manner.

HOWEVER, I was pleasantly surprised! Because of the snowstorm, DH and I were the only ones in the office. So, Dr. actually sat down and we made conversation! Woohoo! (Well, sort of: I asked lots of questions -- even personal ones -- and he answered them.)

When DH got a phone call, Dr. and I kept conversing. Happy to say I feel better about him now. He answered every question I could think of about Tysabri. Will be starting that in about a month.

I was seriously considering changing neuros, but there are only 3 MS specialists in the whole state. He's old (72) and prickly, but Harvard educated and committed to helping patients be informed so we can make the decisions that are best for us.

Guess I'll keep him after all.
