You make me feel as if I need to defend my brother. He is not "too LAZY to do his own reading" and just not familiar with the drug. He is not omnipotent (all powerful) nor omniscient (all knowing).

This drug is not a common MS drug or even a common neurology drug. So he is cautious but he had no problem with it, he deferred to my MS doctor to hear what the guy had to say. He saw no harm and said to keep him informed.

He has a caseload of patients and he is one of the GOOD GUYS.

I will readily omit that your comment about neurologists being "LAZY" and asking a rhetorical question in regards to my brother's honest QUICK response makes me a little P.O.ed.

I was all set to leave it alone until you decided to tell me that my answer confirmed your suspicion about neurologists.

He was not familiar with it, THAT WAS ALL. He is not an MS neurologist.

For the record, I have been to several neurologists looking for a good fit. NOT ONE of them has every treated me with disrespect. If he/she did, I would have the good manners to say something so that he/she would have the opportunity to correct their attitude.

Twink since you have your prescription, just call my friend here in Phoenix. I will PM you with her Apothecary phone # and she may have you fax the script. You can ask her about mailing it to you or I can, just PM me. I will ask her, no problem.

Argh. Being that I grew up with a really smart brother (it was no fun following him in school, teachers always got SO EXCITED to have his sibling and ha! was that an education for them!), I really choose to ignore overt anger over neurologists. But don't push my buttons, I am a nice old lady until I get a little hot under the collar.
