Who Diagnosed You with MS? General, or Specialist?

[sllowe]

For those who received a diagnosis of MS - who dx'd you?
A general neuro? Or, an MS specialist?

I'll start......

sllowe: DX'd in 07 by a general neuro, 2nd opinion confirmed by a general neuro.

I was dx'd in '08 by an MS Specialist..

My cardiololigist actually was snooping at my MRI's a few years before and sent me to a neuro but he sent  home saying I was too old, but my cardiololigist never changed his mind and kept saying I should do something now.

My internist finally saw the lesions and sent me to UCSF...my cardio. still says he found it,  Which he did..

I was diagnosed with RRMS in Nov 2010 by a Neurology Fellow and that diagnosis was confirmed by an MS Specialist. Both docs were at the Rocky Mountain MS Center at the University of Colorado Hospital.

Diagnosed by MS specialist

Please keep this going until all our dx'ers see it!

Reason I'm asking is due to a recent conversation with one of our veteran members who wondered after much experience (like I'm sure many of us do) - which one should I go to?

The history of our forum (by memory only) is that we are a mix.

So, thought it would be nice to put my finger on some numbers representative of our dx experience and distinguish counts for each.

Again - Question to the rest of MS dx'd - will you add your dxer? General, or Specialist please :)
Thanks to all who added so far!

Dx by a neurologist about a week after I was in the hospital....He is an ms specialist but I didn't know until my second or so visit..Found out after my second visit that I was actually in an ms clinic...Took me the third time to notice the sign above the door that says "ms treatment center".....DAH!!...
