Oh No - Not Again!

I visited my new neurologist - optimistic that she could help me, only to be told my symptoms are likely psychogenic.

I felt like I was in an office 12 year earlier - the same suggestion - a referral to a neuropsychiatrist - feeling like I shouldn't be feeling the pain I'm feeling. The neuropsychiatrist determined that my symptoms were not psychosomatic or psychogenic - but had some other cause.

I was asked to submit to a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) at that time back in 2001 - I refused. My husband just having been diagnosed with scleroderma and two small children to care for - a career to try to build with no education or training - I couldn't do it.

Now, here I am again with this same cop-off, even having been formally diagnosed with MS TWICE.

I give up.
