@Hetz2 and @A MyMSTeam Member. I think it’s very important to get referrals from your primary care doctor to see a neurologist whose specialty is ms. Not all neurologists know a great deal about ms. I hope you both have a good night & stay strong
MyMSTeam, thank you for this information. It helps me understand what I must do to change my doctor. I need someone who understands what I'm going through.😇🕊️🫂
