As some of you may remember I saw a new neuro on Feb. 26. It was NOT a good experience. I went in having a very typical bad day, using a walker, hunched over, shuffling along. I failed badly the basic neuro tests, touching my finger to my nose, trying to stand on one leg, heel toe walking, etc. He ordered a full spine, neck and brain mri. Said he did not know if I even had ms due to the fact he cannot get my original diagnosis because that practice was sold to a scoundrel who absconded with all the investors money, went to Brazil, leaving patients with no records. Have tried judges orders, nothing, it is locked tight. This was 3-4 years ago. The authorities caught him and he rots in prison. This neuro had no bedside manner! He was an a**. He told me to push against his pressure on my legs and arms and I had enough and said, “sir, I simply cannot”. He wants to send me to KU in Kansas City for a new lumbar puncture! Absolutely not. I had such a definitive diagnosis, as well as the records of the second neuro I saw after my diagnosis. It shows clearly all the different ms meds I have had over the last 20 years. What a jerk.
Just venting. One thing I have learned is no one can be my advocate except me! Love and a safety to all, Kelly

As many of us have discovered, the practice of neurology lies along a typical bell curve. Most of us are happy to find an average neurologist. Others of us have discovered, as you and I have, neurologists unworthy of the name. Some of us find neurologists who are standouts in every positive dimension. I'm sorry to hear that you have found another dud.
Isn't that a shame? After all you've been through already! I'll pray you can find a neurologist with a much better bedside manner and one who is willing to listen to you.
I am hoping that you will find a neurologist that will be better than that, and sooner, rather than later, Amore55 Have you asked your PCP to assist you in your search? That’s what I did many years ago, and I am happy to say that I am still with the neurologist that she had recommended. Keep Smiling
I'm sorry that you have had to go through this. I hope that you can find a much better one. I know it seems like there are none around. Vent all you need to!
again,patient heal thyself,so sorry you have to go through this,maybe he has enough patients,and doesn't want to deal with one more ms???how discouraging.be strong don't throw in the towel.it could be insurance too that requires he to have those results on hand.good luck
