Visit with new-to-us doctor

Just got back from the doctor's office a little bit ago. He was the replacement for the doctor we saw who wrote our last prescription for LDN. He only goes to the Buffalo clinic once a week, and the rest of the time the nurse practitioner sees the patients. We already don't like him, and will be calling around to find a new doctor, hopefully one who's a lot more open to alternative medicine, and one who LISTENS to his/her patients. We told him, or his nurse rather, that we had an appointment to see a new neurologist next month. Anyway, he said he would write another prescription only for 30 days "because it might not be compatible with the new doctor's regimen for you". We told him that that the new doctors "regimen" was probably going to be to try and get me on the Copaxone.Rebif.Avonex.Betaseron (C.R.A.BS - injectable medications with terrible side-effects on me) that I would NOT take. I've been taking LDN for a little over a year with NO side-effects, and haven't had an exacerbation since being on it. However, before he even agreed to write the 30 prescription he said, "This was a fad going around a while back". Yeah, a "fad" that has been WORKING! GRR!!

Then we stopped at Mickey's and spent $8 on the 4 of us, and came home.

Run - don't walk - away from that doctor.
