I did it! Changed doctor and meds.

[Juleigh21]

A few weeks ago I asked for guidance on whether I should change docs and meds. The doc I was seeing is brilliant but his bedside manner is lacking. His laymen terms is way over the average laymen. He felt I needed a med change b/c my EDSS score is increasing but wanted me to go on a med that I was uncomfortable with. I went in search of other MS neurologist opinions and really clicked with the third doc who is much younger than my doc. Well, I changed docs and had my first half dose of Ocrevus yesterday. It went pretty well. Hopefully Ocrevus will stop the progression. Tysabri did for a while. I want to thank everyone who chimed in and told me that change can be good! I’m always uncomfortable changing doctors b/c of the awkwardness of it (and it was awkward). Looking favorably towards a brighter future for all of us!!!

You do what your Dr and you feels right , make sure your MRI shows what works best for you.

The awkward is over and now you can look forward. Better to have a few moments to be uncomfortable then put it behind you and have someone who you can communicate with better!
