Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I saw my new doctor yesterday and I LOVE her. She is well versed in MS, in fact better than some neurologists I have had before. She was easy to talk to and really took time with me. I will see her again in a month to check my blood pressure. I had stopped taking both my blood pressure med and my thyroid med because of stomach pain and the horrible dry mouth I suffer with. She changed my blood pressure med because she said the one I was on was known to cause dry mouth. Why didn't any other doctor tell me that when I constantly complained of dry mouth??? She said I really must take my thyroid med, too. My blood pressure was up yesterday so I guess I really do need to take something:)She is kind, caring and treats me like an adult who is smart enough to make decisions on my health care. She asked me how far out I lived and how hard it was to get in to town. Of course, I live very far out and I can't drive anymore so it's very hard for me to get to town. Because it's hard for me to get in to see her she gave me a prescription for prednisone for the optic neuritis. She said I would have it to take when I feel the need. She does want me to call her if I need to take the prednisone. She also gave me a small prescription for pain pills in case I have a trigeminal neuralgia attack. It's a small amount that would get me through until I could see her. I love that about her. She truly understands what it's like for me to be so far out. I think she was working on the Whiteriver Reservation before coming here so that could be the reason she is so understanding of distances and the impact on seeking health care. I hope she never leaves!!!I just had to share with you all. I have complained and whined here on the group about my dissatisfaction with my previous doctor. My daughter, Challis, took me to the doctor yesterday. Then we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch to celebrate Challis' 41st birthday. Then off to Walmart to shop. Finally we ended up at the grocery store in our little town and Dollar Tree. It was a great day and I was so exhausted. This morning when I woke I thought it was Saturday. I was so 'rummy'. lolhugs!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Sharon: That's great news. It's good to read about competent doctors! A lot of doctors just don't know about alternative meds available for treating blood pressure. I hope things continue to go well with her.Dan U dao_nguu@...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yay, Sharon! This is great news. I am so happy you are pleased with your new neuro. She sounds wonderful and sensitive to all your needs. Make certain you stay on top of your BP; it's important. Do you have a cuff at home where you can monitor yourself and record it? It's just a good habit to get into.I am glad she organized your meds for you. She sounds like a great find!Enjoy your new-found neuro.love, KateFrom: Sharon To: Group <mserslife >Sent: Tue, November 16, 2010 11:12:11 AMSubject: I LOVE my new doctor!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 KateBut, she isn't a neuro--she is a family practice doctor. I like her way better than the neuro who was here (before he lost his medical license). I know the hospital is trying to recruit a neuro to move here to the mountain but no luck yet.I am so happy with this new doc of mine and she is better versed in MS than some neuros I have seen:) SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
