Sophie, sorry, the mods will remove Minda's remarks in a little while. He/she is obviously selling some sort of snake oil. There are a couple neurologists here in Doha associated with WCMC-Q (Weill Cornell Medical College Qatar) however, I do not believe any of them specialize in MS. Their research seems to be focused on epilepsy and although they have privileges at Hamad, I'm not too sure of their clinical availability there. Your best bet would be to have your Georgetown MD refer you to a Cornell faculty member here in Qatar. I do know that a couple of my friends with MS in the Gulf have had some issues with the heat. Are you able to compensate for that? Also, you need to find out if your prescription meds are available here. Many meds carried in the US are just not available in Qatar. Their pharmaceutical formulary is extremely limited in breadth.
