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.

Lisa girl!!!!!! Yay! I'm glad you are going to Sinai! I would of went there for my 2nd if not Hopkins. - Now you dog gone muff'd up my count, lol, I'll count you in later :) xoxo

Definitely dx'd by an MSologist. The thing I like about seeing a doctor who specializes in MS is the entire office staff - nurses, receptionists, researchers - are all familiar with MS and comfortable discussing anything and everything with me.

I have seen a general neurologist, but that was for a sleep study.

No one yet. Hahahaha!


Me? Hahahaha. No.

I have no clue as to what is going on with me but, I can definitely say, there's not too many mimics to fall back on now.

However, I am going to go to Mt Sinai after my MRI is done.  Perhaps they will offer me something other than relying upon a Urologist and Neuro-opth for direction of a diagnosis.

I was dx by an MS specialist.  After her dx a year later of PRMS, I visited another MS specialist and it was confirmed as PRMS.

Excellent! I'm hoping to keep this discussion going as members see it.

Quick questio for HVAC, Jujuminx, Tingle-tingle, and Beema..... Was your dx by general neuro, or MS specialist?

As it stands (w/out the 4 above yet), the tally so far is,
~5 of us dx'd by General Neuro
~4 of us dx'd by MS specialist neuro

Question to the rest of MS dx'd - will you add your dxer? general, or specialist please :)
Surely there are more than 13 dx'd members here...thanks!
