I am so sorry to hear about your doctor being a weenie... sounds like they were having a bad day and forgot that passing it on isn't the right thing to do!!!!
I'm shocked they would not sign off on a handicap placard. My doctor suggested one for me a year ago when I was having leg cramps on and off. His exact words, use it when you need it, walk when you can. During spring and fall, we seldom used it, but during this heat, my legs are stiff and sore just walking from front door to the car, forget walking across the parking lot and back!!
Do you have another doctor to ask about signing off on the paperwork? And I know you were caught off guard when confronted by the attitude, but now that you've had time to get a little mad about the treatment, make another appointment and have a heart to heart about the behavior. They may be our doctors, but doesn't mean we have to accept their behavior with question!! Or if you're not one to confront, then start asking around for other great doctors in your area. Two of my strongest weapons in dealing with MS and Sjogrens is having great doctors.... I had to change neuros, my first doctor earned the nickname Dr. JackA@#, his name was actually quite close, and in family settings he became known as Dr. Weenie. And I think everyone with MS has run into a Dr Weenie unfortunately, but there are wonderful doctors out there. Don't be afraid to tell your Dr Weenie to buzz off and find someone new. You survived an abusive relationship, so I know you have the strength to move on from a bad doctor :) And huge hugs to you for getting out of that situation, was there briefly when I was young... you dealt with that, this doctor is a walk in the park!!!
Hugs,
Jen

Wow :) if I wish I felt as good as she did to run those marathons! If I felt that good then I wouldn't worry as much about ms! lol
I second LisaJF. Looking at the various permutations of this being reported, very few went the cynical route and put 'Cure' in the headline. Funny thing, they happened to be on internet link-click mills (where the purpose is to get the ad revenue via page impressions with very little pretence otherwise). Now, I wonder why that is...
I had nightmares last night.I think it was from the shock of such a tough Dr appt! I mean,I'm for eating healthy,following Dr's orders and doing what exercises you can.The NP was a completely different personality!I felt like at any minute she was gonna tell me to drop and give her a hundred!She used to laugh and joke with me!The worst part was that I had prepared what I wanted to ask her;but it was all forgotten in the shock!
This NP was involved in my emergence less than a year ago from an abusive relationship.I guess that's what surprises me too about such a tough approach!

You also have to put into consideration that the media (reporter) put their own spin on things, especially the title. And what does "Cure" mean to the Danish woman? There's plenty of meanings that could be applicable.
I just can't envision a Neurologist or a MS Specialist stating to their patients with MS, "If you run marathons, you will be cured!"
Heh.

Yes, and the uninformed will read something like rhis and wonder why we have yet to avail ourselvesnof this wonderful cure. I mean, if that's all it takes, we must simply not be trying hard enough.

oh wow i can feel the cure upon me... legs getting lighter, strength building, energy multiplying...... oh hang on a sec, i'm not suppose to be sitting down, err nope, cure not a happening over here!
The only thing that's worse than reading this, is that unfortunately some people will absolutely believe it and do damage, emotionally and probably physically to them selves before they work out, its not the answer to anything even remotely close to the cure.
If it was that easy, we'd all be doing it!
cheers.......JJ

I can not believe someone told you that....I mean, I believe what you're saying, I just can't believe they said that!
And about that article with the woman running marathons, her MS apparently isn't that bad or fatigue is not one of her symptoms.
Or is this the Cure All suggestion as those other ones with diets that cures MS?
All I know, is that I couldnt run down my sidewalk, let alone a marathon. LOL

(visibly groaning) I think my NP read that before my appt today! She wouldn't sign the form for handicap tags;said she wants me walking as much and as far as possible.And made arrangements for PT.
