Hi n,.....when I saw Dr. Swank he had his own clinic with about 2000 patients. I went to him in the 90's, I'm thinking around 95. He sure was a nice man, and very easy to talk to. I think his son has taken over the clinic now as I saw a website about a Roy Swank and where the clinic was, and I'm pretty sure its the same place.

Did you know that Swank Sr. invented a machine that he used to dx patients along with clinical symptoms to whether they had MS or not. He could tell by your blood, and the machine was able to measure the amount of cells that clumped together. I was leary about it, so I had them test my hubby too, and mine came back clumpy, and his did not. I think this was one of his discoveries that was not recognized as valid just because he didn't do the double blind studies.

I haven't been up to Bourdettes clinic at OHSU, only because its too far for me to get there. Long winding roads. Bad parking, etc. I hear he's good tho. There's couple others closer by where I live, but I haven't been to them either. I got really burned out going to Dr.'s when I was trying to get a dx for 14 years, I tend to stay away unless its an emergency of course. My PCP takes care of most of my needs, and I don't have to see her unless I have a problem. Most problems I just deal with, and report to her about them, and she's okay with that. She is a very good Dr., and knowledgable, and will listen to me and do whatever I want if she thinks it's needed. So we work together. :-)

Oh, I guess I didn't realize you had already been on baclofen. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better with the reduction. Great news!
