Another reason to find a new Neuro in 2018

Called my Neuro's office the other day about not having blood work ordered for my Tefidera ordered at my last appointment. His nurse called back and said that the 3 month blood work was just fine!! Yup, just confirms it is time to find a new one Neuro come the new year!!

Wow I’m not the only one dealing with drs. I think change is in the air for these no listen dr offices. Besides my fight about MRIs the dr was supposed to put me me on cymbalta for help with pain and depakote for headaches. That was a week ago and hasn’t happened. So your not alone with dr problems.

Good luck to you. May our new year bring some good MSNeuros in our lives.

I think you may be right because when I was on Tecfidera my Nero would always give me a blood test, when I would have my 6 month check up.

ssdw1958 Thought I had read, either here on the group or online that it should you should be tested to make sure your numbers are not 'off'. I had 3 month numbers done would think he would want 6 month numbers not 9 month or longer. Just seems irresponsible to me.

I would have my appointments 6months apart so I would have my blood test twice a year

ssdw1958 I have my appointments every 6 months, but because I recently started Tecfidera, he had me do blood work at the beginning and then at the 3 month mark. I just don't get it. He supposed to be a 'MS Specialist' and does all the speeches and things...I get the different pamphlets in the mail from the hospital for where he will be talking about MS topics (never attended). Just irritates me the more I think about it.
