~Knowing, is half the battle.

So, another dose down, three more to go. This just feels so twisted. The only reason I'm going through this is so that I can get Neurodude to tell me not to. That's called "cooperating with treatment". Just because I know it doesn't work isn't enough. He has to be the one to say it. Problem is, if he just agrees with me, that means he has to give up some of his power and authority as the "doctor". He has to be the Einstein on record, not me.

Met a woman today, in the Outpatient clinic, who was also diagnosed with MS. Due to a Solu-Medrol allergy, she was doing the IVIG thing. Many of her symptoms matched a lot of mine... Rage included. RRMS was her label, diagnosed in '99. Along with that though, was about a dozen other psych and medical labels attached to her (which IMHO are all just based on the various symptoms of her MS, and medication side effects). She is currently taking 18 different medications.

Being ignorant is forgivable. Exploiting the ignorant is not.

I want to slap the shit out of her doctor.

Her doctor... is the "MS Specialist" Neurodude consults with.
