Shaking and swaying

Hi CJ
I agree with your Hubby. Give your Neuro a call ASAP. Where you have already seen him its not like they have to make you an appointment as a new patient. I am sure this is something he would want to be notified of. Most Neuros have nurses that handle the calls they get from their patients, ask to talk to his or even possibly the Dr himself can give you a call back when he has a break in between patients. If you wait until your appointment and then go in and tell him how much trouble you are having he will most definitely ask you why you didn't call. It won't hurt to call, this may be a relapse that you need medication for now.

Are you dialing yet??
Take care and let us know how your doing.

PS; If for some strange reason you can't get through to the MD, don't hesitate to go to the ER. They can get in touch with your Neuro and make sure he knows the severity of your problem.

I had to go get an injection at my reg. doctor's office (depo-prevara) and the nurse took one look at me and said she wanted the dr. to step in and have a look. Well the dr., my GP basically said that now that she's referred me to the neuro, there's nothing she can or will do. She suggested it was anxiety and I told her I had just seen my psychiatrist who says its NOT anxiety.
So then she suggested I go into my neuro's office instead of calling. As he's just around the corner, I did that. He's away this week. So no help from anyone. My psychaitrist thinks that mentally I'm doing fine, my GP thinks its anxiety and my neuro is out of town. So now I don't know WHAT to do.

I hate to go to the ER just for shaking because when I went in for the stomach pain that turned out to be the hernia, I mentioned the problems I was having that had a neurological basis and they kind of told me that they didn't handle that, I needed to see the neurologist.

I have a good neuro, but I can't get in to see him. And now everyone else is trying to lay it off on other problems and I feel like a pinball being batted around to other dr. who tell me its NOT their problem.

This is just SO frustrating. I am ready to just scream today out of total frustration. It seems like no one's really concerned about this but me.

And now I DO feel stressed after dealing with someone who says its "anxiety" when the specialist for that says its NOT.

This is just one of those days (weeks) that I could have lived without. I just feel like crawling in bed and staying there until Sept. 12 as no one seems to care how I feel or how I don't function well when I shake so badly. Even my GP said: MS does NOT cause the shakes. I contradicted her and said that a lot of people have tremors, so she doesn't even know that much about it.

Well thanks for letting me vent my frustration. I honestly think that frustration is my biggest problem. Don't these doctors realize what they do to us to keep shoving us off on other doctors and saying that they can't or won't deal with our problems. And waiting months for anxwers or treatment I think makes it all worse.

I was hoping that maybe she'd at least document the degree of shakiness so that I could at least show that to the neuro, but now that she's so convinced its anxiety, I don't want THAT going to the neuro.

I just really feel stuck between a rock and hard place right now. Can't get anyone to do anything and can't get in to see the ONE doctor that's supposed to be taking care of this.

OK, enough whining. Going to go lay down and listen to my ipod. That always relaxes me.

Doesn't your neuro have someone on call in their absence? Dr.'s usually do. It sounds to me like you should be seen now, not next week.
