Yesterday i had a visit with my ms clinic doc. I had had another doccumented flare up from the er so i figured i was going to get a chance to talk to the doctor about some of the things going on from that.She wasnt even all the way into the room before she started telling me that i should stop going to the er when i think im flaring up unless im sure i need steroids. um, how am I suppose to be the one to know that? she then tells me my mobility issues arent ms related, they are depression related and that i tell a good ms story. I have been diagnosed with ms, been treated for ms for the past 3 years now but all of the sudden its depression causing my issues and not the ms.
I haven't been able to get this conversation out of my head since it happened.I honestly am left wondering what it is exactly im suppose to do . Me having fallen from my legs giving out isn't in my head, occupational therapists telling me i need a wheelchair for when i go out isn't in my head or depression related. im just so mad and sad at the same time. The MS clinic is suppose to be the place where you dont have to fight to be believed anymore. sorry for the rant. i just had to get it off my chest.
