Angry VERY Fustrated W/ Dr App today

Hi there, Im new to this board. I dont know where ealse to go really. So I searched for a fourum with people who may have been where I am at right now.
I have been having many MS symtoms for about a year now. They are starting to efect my everyday life now. I have developed a tremor in both my hands. My eyes get blurry cloudy spots in them that come and and sometime I even see double. I have been so tired I can hardly stand to be in my own skin. Im a mom and wife and work and all I want to do is sleep. My list of symtoms go's on and on when I read about MS I feel as though Im reading about my self.
My general Dr Looked at me and ordered a ton of blood work all checked out fine so she made me a app. with a nuro Dr who I seen today. She looked me over got my history and I told her my symptoms she mostly concerned about my tremor, not my eyes nor being tired or all the mucle pain and weakness I have. She gave me a bottle of pill called Topamax? and told me to take one or two a day and wished me good luck and showed me the door out. ?????? I still dont get it? Why wasnt a MRI or more tests ordered.
Years ago I used to have panic disorder and now I think Dr's see that I used to have that and they think its all just stress related and send me on my way.
I called my Dr today as soon as I got home and told her I wanted another referl for another Nero. I hope she gives me one. Is it alway this hard to get someone to listen to you? Im not 100% sure that I have MS but Im pretty darn sure and the least they could do would be to do an MRI on me.
Sorry to vent so much Im just lost and I feel really hopless right now. I was just hoping someone out there could help give me some advice.

Welcome,

This neuro sounds like a real whack job!!!1

Did she do a neuro evaluation?

The standard protocol would have been to order an MRI with and without contrast.Your GP can order these.

The topamax may help with the hand tremors,did this neuro give you a follow-up appointment to check to see if this med was working?

I'd definately push for a different neuro.

My suggestion to you is to seek out an MS Neuro Specialist in the area. I waisted over 3 years going from Drs to Neuros etc. One trip to the specialist, and I was dx. Take Care

Well she had me walk on my toes and touch my nose then she rubbed me with cotton and then she would poke me with a needle? She told me to follow up with my General Dr in 1 mo.
She didnt even listen to the other stuff that I had going on. Like the tingling numbness I get in the weirdest places that comes and go's one day it was in just one toe, it was the funniest feeling ever.
I havent yet told me grneral or any Dr that I think I mite have MS I would like them to find it. Im also afraid if I say that they will think Im a freak or something.
The worst thing is the double vision and cloudy spots. I would love to just get a MRI done. Im still shocked that , that Dr didnt even mention one.
What is a MRI Like? I have had CT scans with Die they are freaky! Is it like that?
Am I crazy for thinking I have MS? Should I only be worried about the tremor like all the Dr's seem to be. I wonder if they are only treating the tremor because that is the only thing that they can see is wrong?
Thanks for taking the time to listen to this crazy girl....

Re: VERY Fustrated W/ Dr App today

My Eyes are really bothring me today, Im so very anoyed by all this.
My dr hasnt gotten back to me as of yet.
Should i just go to my general Dr and tell her that I want a MRI scan to rule out MS? Or would I be just making her mad by telling her how to do her job?
