I think that is a clear sigh that a New Doctor is in your future, and I don't even have a crystal ball

good luck

I agree, another doctor is in order!

I very seriously would get another doctor! I went thru 5 neurologists before I found a good one. The first doctor was not understanding at all. The second (who said that I had the worse case of MS that he'd ever seen)moved to another state. The third doctor was like an intern. She was so amazed at how MS affected me that she just kept asking me to do all kinds of physcial tests. Then she called another intern to watch me too. I felt like I was on display! Plus they were about 2 hours away from my house. The forth was a creep! When I tried to show him how my hand did (tremors all the time) he looked at me and said, "What are you doing!?" I said "I'm trying to show you how my hand does." Then he said, "STOP THAT!!!" I started crying and left immediently! I didn't see another doctor for 3 years. Then I started having bad nerve pain. So I found the 4th doctor. He was so nasty! His office didn't look clean at all. Then when he asked me to sit on the "table bed" (you know the ones with the roll of white paper on the ends) I looked at the white paper and it had a butt imprent on it! He didn't even change the paper! Plus he made me see a physcologist and I hadn't even asked to see one! And I had to pay for it too! THEN,
finally I went to MCG where I found Dr. Mary Huges! She is a wonderful doctor! I just love her. Her sister has MS so she's a lot more understanding than any other MS doctor I'd ever seen! (or any other doctor I've ever seen too!)
It just takes time finding the right one. I'd do some research online and ask around. If you live in Georgia or close to Augusta, then I recommend Dr. Huges.
I hope you find a good one soon. But please look for another one. I think that would help for sure!
God bless ya

That's so awful. You'd think that doctors would have to pass some social etiquette course. They could use it!
You definitely need another doctor. I hate the "It's just stress" line more than anything. It makes me really angry. So do comments about weight.

I really really hope you can find someone else. This one is the pits!

that doc's a**^$#^! would be GONE!!!! DO NOT take a person who has gone to med school and supposed to know their field as fact....someone with a laid back attitude is NOT someone you need with a disease like MS.....I currently had a neuro (in search of a new one) who belittled me during the office visit...The b*&^tch had her walking papers even before I left her office during the exam...NEVER let them talk to you any kind of way...THEY work for YOU...bottom line...repeat it to yourself if you have to but without us sick people they don't have a pot to pee in and I put that very mildly but you get my point....as far as his comments I would report him....your body and your decision to have another child is simply that....YOUR DECISION!!!! Most doc's run when they see me coming (hahaha!) because I don't take their apcrae they are trying to feed me and I definitely DO NOT take NO for an answer!!!!

I agree. get another doctor if you can, especially one with many patients with MS. I can't believe the number of people with MS who have doctors who told them they were making it up or something.

It is 'funny' in a twisted way that besides the 'shock' I was actually happy when I got my diagnosis (I finally knew what was wrong!).

I think our docs are trained to say stress right off the bat..
I was with my gp for 10 min. and he said stress, I said absoultly not. I am happyer than Iv'e ever been, I just have no energy and my hands and feet keep falling asleep.
he then suggested an MRI and 3 days after my mri he called me at work and said you have a lot of spots on your brain and you need to see a neuro. right away. I was dx. a week later.
just keep pushing until you get answers.
good luck.

It took me 5 neuro's to find mine. Even now I get stressed out thinking about going to a Doc. Before my dx. I was told, it was anxiety,menopause,depression,fibromyalgia,past issue problems,pinched nerves,too sensitive, wanting to have ms. to name just a few.

I had a similar expierience. I had numbness and weakness on my left side for 3 weeks and my dr said it was stress. The following year I had double/blurred vision and went to the er and had an mri and was dx with ms. I think drs don't take women very seriously. You have got to be your own advocate!!

I want to give a big thumbs up to my neuro, Steven Ring, who is sensational (he has a cute butt, too) But , guys, you have to come to Oz to see him!

I agree with everyone else get another doctor. Look at it this way, you hired him to be your doctor. He ain't doing his job so fire him and find one your comfortable with. Get the MRI in the meantime. That may yield some answers for your new doctor. Good luck.

it look 20 years and several doctor and permant damage to my legs before i was belived.
they thought my groc. list of symtoms were always made up.
