I had a follow up visit with my PCP today (Whom i LOVE by the way*) so we could talk about treatment, follow up on progress with the neurologist, and see how my current meds (having nothing to do with the MS) are doing.
She doesn't feel that we should start on any of the MS treatments until after I have had the neuro consult and they decide which form of MS I have. (I can write more on that later) She also suggested that if I got tired of waiting on the MS Specialist Neuro, she could probably get me into a regular neuro faster. The idea being that I would still have the referral to the specialist, but I could see someone sooner and possibly get started on the meds.
I need to pray about that decision. I really feel like I want to see someone who eats, sleeps and breathes MS neurology; but I really don't want to wait all summer to do it. Especially if starting the drugs could get me into remission. I can always change to the specialist later, if it seems that it would still be beneficial.
Should I stay, or should I go?
*If you are in the Portland area and are looking for a doctor, I can't recommend their office enough! South Tabor Family Physicians is in the Mall 205 area and I think they are fabulous. Especially my doctor, Jeana Crover.*
