They don't know anything about my MS. Needless to say this makes me more than a bit nervous. In a couple of days I will know who my Primary care doctor will be and I am sure I will have am appointment scheduled with them soon.
I'm concerned what will happen when I start asking for refills of some the medications I take on a regular basis, for symptoms and for pain. I take 100mg 3x daily morphine for the pain, 2 mg 2x daily for dizziness along with Xanax and the list goes on. Some of them do not pertain to MS. But I know at some point I will have to tell them I have MS.
Any ideas on what I might expect. The ankle injury was 22 years prior to any type of MS symptoms as far as I know. I am still going through my records. But I highly doubt I will find anything pertaining to MS.
So my question is when should I disclose that I have MS? I would rather have my RX filled at the VA, but I will pay for my civilian doctor to get my RX's and go to the VA and have them filled. It's a confusing situation if you have never dealt with it before.
I can see now it will take me time to figure this all out.
