Thanks for your posts.

My neuro is actually one of the best MS specialists - uh oh!
I asked my Doctor for a 2nd opinion - (in Aust we say 'GP' (General Practitioner. Is that the same as a 'PCP'?) and she wouldn't give me one, saying my neuro was a good one!!!

I don't really have a long-term GP that knows me really well. But it might be time to find another one!

I even called the MS Society and they told me my neuro was top on their list.

During my first exam she said, "yes I suspect demyelination/MS", then 2 days later the MRI was clear. During the 2nd exam 8 weeks later, she says "highly unlikely".
She has at least put me onto oral steroids. But they only take away the pins and needles, and increase the tiredness.

Anyway, I see her on Monday (2 more sleeps!) So I'll be giving her the Spanish Inquisition!

It's not really a fun merry-go-round to be on.
