Hi everyone- I'm new to this forum. Frankly, I'm new to any forum. I was diagnosed with RRMS in 5/2015. Plenty of brain lesions and a couple cervical ones just to keep me panicky about prognostication, and one bum leg. Next (3rd) tysabri infusion is next week. My situation is a bit interesting though- as I'm a neurologist- with plenty of MS patients of my own. I've been cautiously letting my MS patients know of my condition, because in my head, I think it would make me more comfortable if I knew my doctor could really relate with me. I wanted to get a sense from others here, as I certainly don't want to take away from the patient centered focus of the office visit. Also- would you be more apt to choose a neurologist if you knew he or she had MS also?
As an aside, the neurologist in me is really optimistic about the current and future state of MS treatment. Not sure the "cure" is right around the corner, but things like the discovery of CNS lymphatics make me really excited about new angles for therapy and reduction of flares.
Thanks everyone. Glad to be here.
