Wow! A great neurologist! I've heard they exist..:o) I'm so glad you found one, with good assistants, too! I guess I can't come to Texas to see yours, but I'm sure I'll find a good one someday. I'm so happy for you, to have someone helping you find answers, and to believe in you; good stuff!

I just read your About Me; I find it amazing how many bad doctors there are out there! I believe we roast the bad ones over a pit on Fridays (virtually, of course). Actually that's just a joke that helps release the frustration and anger, but it's one that pops up often. So many of us have had rotten experiences and understand. You're in good company. I'm glad you have a good GP, that really helps. I have a great one that I've been seeing for 10 years.
Take care,
Kathy

I'm curious about how your neurologist's visit went. Please let us know when you get a chance. I've had one really bad neuro, and my current one is questionable. I see her tomorrow, and that will be when I decide if I move on to another. I have spent years trying to get answers about what's going on with my body, but only had a brain MRI with lesions in Feb. of this year that started me on the neurologist path. I already know how tough it can be. I hope you had a good experience.

Thanks for your note. When I researched woman's hysterical disease, (conversion disorder) I found out that it was Freud who changed the name and that it was a label given to mostly women when their male doctors didn't know what was wrong with them. I'm glad you found a new doctor that listens to you. The Swank diet is found at http://www.swankmsdiet.com. My mother (also with MS) used a similar one for over 50 years. She's 92 and her symptoms have remained mild. It's an interesting approach and one I decided on because as I told my doctor, 'I'm not waiting around doing nothing because you can't make up your mind' I think it has worked for me. Charley
