After my neuro retired and appointment with someone else in that practice, I needed to find new neuro since I wasn't comfortable with their MS knowledge.
Thanks to JerryD, I had an appt with another neuro yesterday. Overall it went well and reinforced that I was right to switch. He reinforced what my understanding was from original neuro. One thing specifically, that Tysabri can still leave you more prone to respiratory and urinary infections even if your white blood cell count is fine. I have trouble with respiratory infections
The one thing that did get to me is that by MRI, he said my disease burden is light and asked how I was diagnosed. At first, I thought he was going to undiagnose me. But he didn't. Said he agreed, just that I am fortunate.
I do know I am fortunate, troubled more by "invisible symptoms". So I was wondering if he would take me seriously. Thankfully, he did and believes in treating the patient's symptoms, not their MRI.
I am going to start a separate thread with my questions.
Thanks.
