This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Do you think doctors and neurologists ever read some of the posts on this site? Could they benifit from all the results that people talk about? could they learn something from all your ideas on why and how? Where do all the ideas that they concentrate on come from? Maybe the cure for ms will come from here..

HMM good question..in the past i have thought of that often...do they look on here..do they know how we feel about this, do they understand our frustration at all...it would be nice to think there is one or two out there who do come on here and read our stuff and try and learn from it...just my thoughts on it

funny,
i have a post under Tysabri and i just said this morning, i am going to print out my post and the responses and show it to my doctors. ThEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE as to what we go through. there quick fix is always IV Steroids or prednisione. I am so frusterated with my doctors right now. I sent all of them an email last night saying just that, that none of them know what i am going through, yes they hear it, but they have not a clue. My Neuro pretty much toold me i am nuts for wanting to try Ty, even though my Crohn's doc wants me to. that i am better off taking 2 different drugs that wew have NO CLUE of the interactions, side effects.... nothing.
sometimes they make all this much harder, not easier. Ii tiold my neuro yesterday " hey, you are my doctor here, we are supposed to be on the same side here" it does not always feel that way.

thanks for the rant !!!!
I needed that
