Thanks, RTS....I haven't gotten that far yet but I will certainly be looking for a new neurologist. I'm scared, though, because the help that I've been given by this dr has been life-saving for me. I honestly don't believe I'd be alive today. I was hoping that I would have my appt next week and be good for another 3 months - giving me time to do the research and secure a new neurologist.

When I talked to the office staff, I asked them if his patients were upset about this change. She said that everyone has been handling it quite well and that only about 5% of his patients switched doctors...and 4 of those patients came back. I've chatted with people in his waiting room that travel hours to see him. I personally know several people that see him as well.

I just got off the phone with the specialty pharmacy. They are getting the ball rolling on getting the authorization and filling the script. I have to get these documents faxed to my insurance company and the specialty pharmacy which I will do as soon as I get my daughter off the bus.

Keep your fingers crossed that I can pull this together so that my appt. next week is covered.
