New provider: With ms you should be under the care of a doctor. Okay to change doctors. While you are looking for your next ms provider/neurologist okay to ask your regular doc for referral, call your local ms foundation and ask for referrals. You have options. Be well.

SOME ADVICE: With chronic ms, you need a neurologist who is experienced, focuses in the area, but also, who you can trust and communicate with. If you stop tysabri (natalizumab) abruptly, you have about 3 months prior to problems, which may involve relapse, but in our experience, more likely nasty rebound if a new drug such as gilenya, is not started immediately. Contact local ms society, as you need support.
