Just learned from my PCP that my former MS neuro was switching over to the healthcare corp I am in now. AND he'll be practicing at the hospital I live only 7 mins from.
Now this is the neuro who monitored me for 4 years believe I "may" have a mild/benign case of MS; also told me he NEVER rules out MS. WELL.. until I Had to change insurance as now I was working for this other healthcare corp in 2008. At THAT closing appt he told me NO, you do not have MS. His PA John had been telling me that I never had MS but definitely have something going on neurologically.
Now the present MS doc I am seeing is double the copay but I only see her annually, and told me she works for ME< as I am the boss of my treatment. She is very nice, personable and takes time. But SHE was the 3rd MD who believed I indeed have MS and was my 2nd opinion.
The former MS neuro is very nice but his practice was way too busy. HE also kept saying my neuro exams were normal, though my balance, coordination and cognition suffered.
I just don't know if I want to return to him after he told me I do not have MS. I have new lesions since he saw me that were Dawson fingers MS type. But still...
I am thinking of seeing him for HIS opinion now and go from there.. But.. want YOUR feedback..should I continue with him after he had UNdx me? HE's a renowned speaker/reseracher for MS in midwest area. But I feel so torn now..
