WOW! That is a LONG time. I'm sorry to hear that Tracy.
Good for you - You are absolutely right if this were any other disease a 2nd opinion would be the norm - well it should be for this disease too- Hopefully you can get in soon. I have an appt with a MS Specialist - in MAY!!!!! that is first available. My neuro suggested seeing a specialist as she is not! Don't think she thought it would be 6 mos post dx!
Anyway - let us know when you go!
Take Care
Tracy
Thank you ladies,
I talked to my husband last night. I think this is just a smart move considering the new information. I want to make sure we have looked at everything. I have nothing to lose other than gaining more insight.
I'll see when I can get in and let you know; so for there has only been about a 6 week delay.
I'll keep you in the loop. :)
I agree with the girls. Go for it, what have you to loose.
I hate this rubbish. Why is it so hard to get taken seriously....grrrrrr dont get me started to day lol.
My left foot well the toes feel as though someone has chopped them off and exposed all the nerves. Its poopy and I have had this for nearly a week.
What is the point of seeing the doctor. She will just give me one of her looks and I cant cope with that.
So i just wait for the nervous system to go and play on another nerve ending lol, probably on my bum knowing my luck ha ha.
Big hugs...just go for it. xxxx
LOL, you crack me up Sarah.
We can become osterich's but I think we might notice when our butt gets to the same height as our heads. I don't know about you but I can only stand only do the downward dog for so long. *wink*
I did some research today and found out two of the doctor's on my insurance plans are on the MS Summit so I'm picking on of them and going to see what they have to say. Maybe I'll learn something. :)
If there was a like button on this forum like there is on facebook, I would like your post. But since there isn't, I agree with Jibby....
Go For It!!! Someone around here needs to get somewhere at some point in time, lol!
Let us know what happens, when your appt is etc. I have the feeling in another week I'm going to be sent back to a neuro myself to see what they want to do with me. This new doctor will probably send me; apparently you can't have a neurological disease and not be under the care of a neuro? Why not?!?
Anyways, good luck and let us know!
Sarah
I have 3 words for you -
Go for it!
