I have been diagnosed with RRMS for 11 years now. My previous Neuro left the area and diagnosed me with SPMS before she left. I have a new Neuro now and feel like she is doubting the SPMS diagnosis. I have definitely been feeling more symptoms (on the same side as my first exacerbation) and they are sticking around and not going away anymore. I have also been feeling more symptoms on my other side. When I told my new Neuro I felt like she clew my concerns and symptoms off. This disease is so hard to think about and react to. I am a social worker and feel like I understand my own mental health issues with anxiety and depression but still find them hard to manage. I appreciate finding a forum where I can share me feelings with people who are dealing with some of the same things. Thank you in advance, I am happy to be here
Hi and welcome to the forum @blutulip75 sorry to hear your concerns regarding your new neurologist. Like people in general, neurologists no doubt have their own opinions on things. You could always ask for a second opinion from another neurologist; diplomatically off course. I believe that we are all able to ask for a second opinion. Sending you best wishes and good luck in seeking out another opinion, if that’s the path you choose.
