dr visit

[jamie1964]

Ok I know I am in the wrong but I have such a fear of dr, I had all the test and lost my sight in my left eye and the vision comes and goes in my right eye. I was told the wonderful news back in1999 and my body has only had little signs of the MS....about 2 yrs ago my body started having the pains and the drunken syndrome showed up that was fun... I dont drink. My body is in pain everyday and I have no strength. I am on a budget. I only go to my FD is it worth itto go elsewhere to be told what I already know....

If all you want to do is treat symptoms and not the disease of MS it is okay to stick with the family doc alone.The value of a MS diagnosis and being treated by a Neurologist is they can give you a medication which will help slow the progression of MS.

Hi Jamie - I would think that decision would be based on what you're doing to combat you MS. Are you currently taking and disease modifying drug (DMD)?
