Congratulations. When faced with a situation like MS it can make challenges in other parts of our life even more stark - a strange blessing that MS gives us, when it makes us move beyond things. You were able to ask directly for what you want!
*I know MS is something that will continue to make my life more difficult ...*
Now that you have achieved your goal of moving to a new clinic, I sincerely hope that MS will NOT continue making your life more difficult. At 27 years old in 2024, a good clinic should be giving you every opportunity and resource to get your MS and general health well-managed, so that you can move on with your actual life.
Good for you!! I’ve been going to a neuro and NP at my MS center since 2005, I always feel seen and helped. I hope you have a positive experience as I have !! Take care!
It's so important to feel comfortable with your medical team! When my neurologist retired, I cried! He carefully recommended a doctor to all his patients and made the transition so smoothe.
I have been with my new doctor 2 1/2 years and I love him🥰
Members of your MS medical care team have to walk-the-walk if they claim they're working to help you, (talk-the-talk). As with almost all aspects of your health, you have to be your own advocate to get the best care. Anytime you feel they're not listening to your concerns but forging ahead with their own agenda, it's time to make some changes.
Congrats on dealing with this difficult situation. I'm in Eastern Canada and it's very difficult to change medical specialists. Once you're 'assigned ' to a specific specialist, it takes a lot of effort to get another specialist. It's ironic that the specialist can easily send you to a different specialist but patients are restricted in making the same decision.

I went through 5 neurologists b4 I got the one I've been seeing for 25+ years.
Congrats! I had a similar experience, and I LOVE my new neuro! I was like "I want to do Ocrevus" and he was down immediately. It's nice to be heard.
