KRISSY, I WOULD NOT DISMISS HIM YET. ITS HARD TO CHANGE DOCTORS WHO YOU HAD FROM YOUR ONSET ESPECIALLY NEUROLOGISTS. OR NEUROS..WHERE I LIVE YOU CAN ASK FOR A EXTENDED APPOINTMENT INSTEAD THE STANDARD ONE THEY GIVE YOU. WHEN I HAVE MORE THINGS I WANT TO DISCUSS I ASK FOR THE EXTENDED

Krissy, I think you and I are seeing the same guy! I thought I had mine figured out but just this week I got a call from him that made me furious. I had another MRI on 7/31. I called 4 times for results and no one would call me back. Then on Monday he finally calls and is very abrupt. He

"Common sense is not as common as it really ought to be." That is so true! Thanks for a new favorite saying. I didn't know they threw out MRIs after 7 years. That means mine is gone, too. :-( That's a good reminder to get copies of all pertinent medical records. Barbara H.

I had really bad vibratons with my new leisions. The Dr. put me on an anti-seizure drug ( so sorry I can't remember the name)but it worked really well. Good luck with the vibrations...it made me CRAZY!!! They went from my mid back where one of the new leisions is all the way down to the bottom of

I have lesions in my brain but none on my spine. So how could I have a dx of TM in the beginning? I guess the big attack I had was best explained away as TM. I have a friend who was also first dxed with TM and then MS and now she's wondering if she reallyhas MS at all. Sharon --from Arizona TM

I NEVER HEARD OF THROWING AWAY MRIS . MY HOSPITAL STILL HAS ALL OF MINE FROM 14 YEARS TO COMPARE THEM TO. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO THROW THEM AWAY WHEN THEY CAN BE OF SUCH A HELP. I AM GLAD MY HOSPITAL DOES NOT HAVE THAT POLICY. I THINK I WOULD ASK FOR MINE TO KEEP, THEY ARE YOURS AND YOU PAID

I think the seven year pitch is my hospital's policy. It may not be universal. I asked if I could come and get them and they said no. I can get a copy of the CD or a copy of the films at 8 bucks a sheet. But, the can gets the original. I am thinking I have to appeal to the hosp board of
