They are brainwashed by the pharmaceutical reps. Ha. They (not all Dr.s) need to listen to us and think for themselves.
I stopped going to doctors a few years ago. I can see how useless it is. I had dozens and dozens of appointments, tests, prescriptions ... and none of them did one bit of good. If I had never gone to a doctor I would have been better off. But we don't know until we try - and I can't say I didn't try everything.
That's a good question. For many years my doctor has insisted I am RRMS, even though I have never relapsed or remitted. Mine has been just a steady, rapid downward decline from the start. On a disability scare I am 8.5, I have no muscle function from the chest down. So I don't see how I can be considered RRMS.
This fron the website rxlist.com "Solu Medrol may make your blood sugar level rise, which can cause or worsen diabetes."
@A MyMSTeam Member My doctor continues to insist I have RRMS, even though in 12 years I have never relapsed or remitted. So no, I would not agree with you that this is where the doctors come in. The difference between progressive and malignant is the speed in which they progress. In 3 years time I went from walking normally to no being able to take even one step. Such a fast decline is very rare, from what I am told.
