My mother told me
My mother told me
To pick this one.
Remember that when you were
a child? I am sure there are variations to it, but it was a pretty common saying
when I was young. We used to use that to pick members for our teams and such.
I am thinking that I will
make a list of the neurologists in my surrounding area and use this to pick
one. The one I have is not working
out. I carried a list of the symptoms I
was having to the last visit with him.
As I have said, he basically looked at it and told me to take two
aspirin and call him if I needed him. I was
NOT a happy camper with this!
We have talked about doctors
before in our blogs. I know that MS is a
strange disease and has a lot of symptoms. I know that most of us have “one from column A
and two from column B” of these symptoms.
Often they change from week to week and month to month. I realize that this makes it hard for a
doctor to settle on a treatment plan for us.
What I don’t understand is that a lot of the doctors seem to not want to
get involved with different treatments and wash their hands of us. What are we to do in the meantime?
I am having some issues that
I would like to at least talk with a doctor about. Some things just cannot be relieved by
resting and taking our normal medications.
I know…… I have tried this approach.
No matter how patient I try
to be I just can’t sit around and hope that I will get some relief. I need to be actively looking for some
help. I think I am on the right road
with this.
The gal who is the head of
my local MS chapter suggested a neuro that she likes. She tells me he listens to what you have to
say and tries to find some help for you.
Now THAT would surely be different!
I know it sounds like it,
but I really am not whining……I am searching.
Like many in MSland I am unsure where the future will take me and I
would like to have a conductor (neuro) I trust to drive the train. I am hoping this guy will be the one. Wish me luck!!

I do wish you luck. I'm on a similar search myself. I had to leave the neurologist who diagnosed me and was with me through the decline. He decided to go concierge, and I was left hanging. So, I'm asking around about ones in the area who are considered specialists. I know I could go across the bridge to Philly, but if I can avoid that trek, I will. Good luck with your search.
Do you also remember "One potato, two potato...?" That came to mind when I read 'Eenie meenie..."
Peace,
Muff
Oh yeah I remember the potato saying! The neuro I am thinking about is about 40 miles away, but I don't have any choices here in town anyway. Thanks for the good wishes......I hope you good luck in your quest also!
