Renee, I think your primary is a flake and I am glad your moving too. How about calling your neuro and letting him prescribe your meds? I remember Jim going through the "you acting like a "drug addict" routine and it was so frustrating! This was with his old neuro but now that we have a new one plus the spinal doc it's all good. They work well together. It sounds like your doctors have no clue and do not communicate very well.

Personally every ms patient should see a urologist since bladder issues are the norm. Jim sees the urologist whenever he requests one. He has seen urologists since he was dx'd so this is all so strange to me.

I will say a prayer that you get taken care of. It may be time to file formal complaints and contact your local senator or hospital administration about the care your receiving. Call me when you get a chance OK?

UPDATE: Finishing off the last of the laundry and watching the rain fall. Maybe taking off the snake picture since it's freaking people out! lol

Everyone have a great day!

Renee---
I can so empathize with your situation. I am also a military spouse and am currentlly dealing with the same woes of in terms of pcp's (don't ya love how long it takes to get into touch with--much less a visit-- with your pcp and that u usually end up seeing a different doctor each time ); "different" interpretations of tests results, being shuffled from person to person-- and almost having to be to see specialists, meds and all sorts of things.....

My suggestion is to see if the doctor you see/trust most can prescribe your meds-- or at least the majority of them. My neurologist prescribes the majority of my medications; and my pcp prescribes the "easy" ones such as my allergy meds and a few other meds that my neuro doesnt want to monitor (such as my apetite stimulant) or is completely un neuro related. Occasionally my other specialists will prescribe meds-- but they are usually not long term ones; generally speaking, my neuro is in charge of most of my meds. It just works out better that way.

Another suggestion: go to the radiology department and request a copy of your CT scan--- both the disk and the report. I always request copies of all diagnostic tests (x-rays/lab work, etc) as soon as they become avaliable AND visit notes when the doctor finishes writing them and entering them into the computer. It's a way I keep tabs on things-- making sure I know the test results-- the radiologists interpretation; and exactly what went on during my dr visits so I can ask questions or get things corrected if I have concerns.....

Good Luck !

Btw-- to everyone else-- I apologize for jumping into the conversation without much introduction (i do post from time to time on other threads)--- this post just caught my eye today.
