i am no doctor, but assuming that the doctor is professional and competent, he should know what he is saying and doing. there could be improvements in the condition? perhaps he think you will recover in due course and hence a downgrade wont be necessary? did you ask him why he changed his mind? our own perceptions may be biased at times depending on how we view our own conditions.
anyway if u think the doctor has failed in some ways, it may be better to seek another doctor, or to seek redress. and also, its no point relying on hearsay especially when it concerns your own health. and it may be worth it to give it a try rather than pull back just because u think u will not be granted a review.
