Hello all. I have been lurking around here for awhile, but I finally have a question where I need your help. I have been seeing a neurologist for about a year for headaches and other issues, but I feel it's time for a second opinion.
So, I went to my PCP to get advice on whom to go to next. I showed him my list of symptoms. He tells me that he thinks I should see an MS Specialist. Of course, he told me not to freak out, but it would be better to see someone with the expertise, and he knows many conditions mimic MS.
I called to make an appointment at a well-respected MS clinic, and I was told that none of their doctors see patients unless they are diagnosed with MS. Hmmmm. Ok. So, I called my PCP, and his office called to see if they could get me in....no such luck.
I told my PCP I would do some research over the weekend, and this is where I am. Have you guys ever been in a similar situation? I mean, wouldn't the specialist be the best one to get to the dx?
