Hi Mary,
You may want to see if you could you get a referral to the Fraser Health MS Clinic at Burnaby Hospital. That is the only other clinic that specializes in ms in the lower mainland area. Although, who knows if they would be any better. I have been doing this merry-go-round for the last 4 years and am as frustrated as you but we must continue to fight and advocate for our health even when the system appears to be working against us every step of the way. Take Care, Anna
I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
The benign MS is a silly diagnosis to begin with. I've seen some Journal articles use this term to refer to anyone that's not in a wheelchair, but personally, I don't think its a valid medical diagnosis, but a label used to categorize subjects in research.
You definitely need to keep on trying... and find another MS Specialist.
Take care.

oh good grief i feel like thumping them myself!! get their attention you are paying them!
well really if you dont they wont- hang in there!! take care tick
I would see another MS Specialist. They did that you are going to have MS or Benign MS nonsense on me and it turned out I had PPMS for years.

Ridiculous. I am sorry this is such a crazy-making scenario.
Err, he can't be that top notch if he believes your MS is benign given your present symptoms.
