Wow, thank you. What a horrible experience. I hate that they dismissed your telling of the symptoms having been long lasting. Did he have an MRI before he told you you were "too old" to have MS? Was your scan clean?

I am going into a clinic on Tuesday. I got her name from the National MS site. The notes said that 80% of her patients are/were diagnosed with RRMS and she has a good rating from her patients.

For me this round of symptoms,the second time I've had the same type of symptoms, just worse this time around. The first time was about 4.5 yrs ago. The neuro I saw that time said that the symptoms fit, but because my MRI came back clean he wouldn't make the dx. He said that if these symptoms returned to come back.

It's just frustrating. These people that we go see we are suppose to trust. Trust that they will listen to us, make appropriate diagnosis, and look at everything thing, not just what they feel like at the time, rushing through patients because THEY are running late and want to get home earlier.

He argued that had I been "crippled" with MS for 10 years, I WOULD have known it! then he gave me a dismissive exam, and said we would wait another six months and redo an MRI.
