yes answers would be wonderful, but step one was finding a neuro that I would like to keep as a neuro, that will continue on the journey for my health. Unlike the others.

thanks all, so much, this place always cheers me up and helps me a lot with info and support!!

hugss,sarah

Wow Sarah, I'm happy that you finally found a good doctor. My doctor is 75 miles away and we go there once a month. It would be nice if he opened an office in town here, but other than that, we'll be driving up there to see him each month.

I'm so pleased for you Sarah!

I've been beside you in thought, during all those fruitless visits to endless doctors.

I've felt for you when you didn't get anywhere; when you were made to think it might be in your head; when a certain doctor insinuated you'd be better off pregnant all the time.... when you were given countless excuses but no explanations!

I really do hope that this time you get some answers!

I hope for your sake it isn't MS Sarah, but I imagine that any diagnosis at all will almost be better than this terrible limbo that you've been in for so long.

Good luck Sarah, and please keep us up to date.

Love 'n' hugs from Me!

Hi Sarah,
I think finding a good doctor, that you feel comfortable with, is half the struggle. Good for you.

I have had ones that I would hate having to go to them when appointment time came around. Or I would be dismissed too quickly because they are too busy. Some give lousy exams, like you said. Or they don't listen to you and your symptom problems.

Some are just trying to get the patient in and out of the office as fast as they can.

When you walk out of the office you want to have had your questions answered, not be in tears and think of all the things that were said or not said to you. If he's a keeper that's excellent.

I'm proud of you for even having the guts to keep seeing doctors after all they've put you through!

I hope this one pans out, really I do.

Sarah, so glad to hear you have a neuro you can talk to and most importantly one who listens.

I know I have been so lucky that both my PCP and neuro are listeners and take all the time I need when I'm there.

BTW, any trips downstate planned soon?
