Hi Bailey

It is nice to meet you. I'm sorry to hear about your situation -- I just had to reply because it struck such a chord with me. I really think that as soon as the doctors hear you mention MS they write you off as a hypochondriac and assume that you are imagining all of your symptoms -- even if they were the ones to first mention/suggest MS as a possibility! I am also a "sensitive young woman" suffering from "Chloe's disease" and have found that the best way to behave is as totally calm and relaxed as possible. It makes me so angry to have to do this with doctors but it has proven the best way to get taken seriously. For now, I reassure myself that this disease will not kill me, and that as soon as I show some signs that they will consider "objective" enough for their liking (as with Buzz's ON) I will take action then and aggressively pursue a DX. But obviously, there are many ways to deal with this situation - this is only what I have settled on. This whole predicament truly sucks, huh??!!!

welcome and post again soon.
take care,
Chloe
