Then why don't you have insurance?
Insurance would be about $1000 a month, have a $12,000 deductible, I would have to see a foreign doctor who is an arse. He has an accent I cant understand and is condescending to me when i ask him to repeat himself. It is also about a 100+ mile roundtrip visit away from me. My co-pay to him would be more than the Dr that I have that I pay cash for.
My current GP is a great doctor who knows my history, has my symptoms mostly under control and under the "affordable care act" I would not be able to see him.
I prefer to spend my money on my healthcare and not on the utterly useless (to me) ACA,

Yes, Yes, I am interested in this too!
I am in physical therapy to assess and chart my progress or decline. (yoga, aerobics and exercises to help with balance and flexibility)
I am on a vitamin and supplement, regimen to make up for an deficiency I have (not really ms related I think) and to ensure my body has what it needs to help recover from the exercises. I also have to drink ensure.
Baclofen and zanaflex to help with spasticity and cramps. Meds to help combat fatigue. corticosteroids for whatever reason,
I have a health care worker who deal with all of the above to ensure that I don't get meds mixed up and so that I am on a good routine and doing everything that I can.
Once I get the official diagnosis then we go on to the hard core meds, treatments and such, Right no we are just seeing if this helps in any way.
There are there things as well but i don't remember the names of them right now.
