None of my doctors have treated me any differently since I got diagnosed with MS. I did have one doctor that I met after getting diagnosed, when he found out that I had MS, he just looked at me sadly and said "I'm sorry", and seemed to act like he thought I was going to die during the History chat that we had the day I first saw him.

After that, he was a complete a**h*** to me. But, I got the feeling he was an a**h*** to all his patients.

If anything, my regular doctor is more willing to listen to me when I ask for a test of something that I want checked. (going to get my thyroid checked soon, and ask him to check again for a possibility of gout...my left big toe can barely move right now)

My relatives that know about the MS dont treat me any different, except that they seem to think I'm making up the whole MS diagnosis. (my mom is a hypochondriac, and apparently I'm guilty by association) and being treated like a hypochondriac by family really isnt any different than it was before I got diagnosed...they thought I was a hypochondriac then too...except now they're not afraid to say it to my face.
