Hi and thanks so much for your kind words.

Your suggestion just opened up some other possibilities for me.

My MS doctor wanted me to have a doctor locally who would be able to help with steroids or what ever might come up in between my check ups with her.

My PCP said he'd preferred I find someone besides him because he does not know enough about MS to feel comfortable. He only has 3 of us with MS. We are in a very small country community.

But there are other PCP's and internists around here. The neurologists in this area seem to be stuck on the same page when it comes to MS.

I was shocked when this doctor moved the conversation away from the reason I was there and started to add his own opinion. My MS doctor said NOTHING about our family size and I was not there for a second opinion.

I was afraid another neuro would try to throw their own opinion in on my situation. So in the end, after the trauma, he said it was MS.

Thank you for the link. I will go out there and post about the doctors I have seen!

First, I want to tell you what a wonderful people you and your husband are. To give a loving home to children that would otherwise grow up in state home with out the personal love and attention that you are providing says so much about you. I resent that this Dr verbally abused you as he did. He had no right at all to treat you like he did.

Sometimes we are so shocked that we were treated the way we were that we do not respond promptly. It sounds like that is what happened to you. If he was having that bad a day, he should have rescheduled his patients and carried his ***** home for the rest of the day!

I was wondering why you need this guy anyway. If the MS Dr knows the treatment she would order, couldn't she work with your local Internal Medicine Dr if you needed to be treated with steroids? I know that is what I have arranged with the MS specialist that I go to in Atlanta. I do not see a local Neuro because they really did not think I had MS and would not review all that was going on with me when I was sent to them so my Internal Med Dr sent me to Atlanta to a MS Clinic and its about 1 1/2 hrs from us and I go there ever 6 months unless there is something going on then I am seen more often.

Ask your local Medical Dr if they are willing to work with the MS Specialist. I hate to think of you ever having to go back to that Dr. I know it sounds like I am taking this personal and maybe I am. I am just so tired of people getting mistreated by the medical community.

I certainly hope you will go to the rating site and give us a heads up on this dr so others can stay away from him if they are given a choice. The site is www.msneuroratings.com

Take care and again I say thank you for opening your home and heart to those precious children.
