I have seen several people who have relatively stable MS say their neurologists are still scheduling them for check ups every 6 months. Whats up with that? I am surprised insurance is paying for it. My MS specialists, I've had several at a well known teaching hospital, have only ever seen me once a year and now that has changed to every 18 months.
If the MS is stable and the patient has been on their medication for a reasonable amount of time it seems frivolous, a waste of money and time, to drag us in if there aren't issues. For what? The squeeze my hand, follow my finger with your eyes and walk the drunk line test? Hopefully they aren't doing repeat MRIs on stable patients this often also.
