I havent had a diagnosis yet but Ive definitely had some difficulties with doctors either dragging their feet or just doing the bare minimum required of them. From what ive been reading on here as well as a few other forums....this doesnt seem very uncommon when it comes to chronic illnesses like MS.

Best thing I can suggest (which is what Im currently learning how to do) is to be your own advocate. Push your doctor. You have to stand up for yourself and make sure you get the treatment and attention you need.
