My Neurology Appt TODAY!!!

[VictoriaDouglas83]

Well, I have my neurology appt. today at 11am.  I am kind of nervous.  I wrote down all my symptoms on a piece of paper so I don't forget anything.  

I told my husband last night that I was nervous for today and he asked me why.  I said because I am afraid that he is just going to write me off like everyone else.  He told me to stand my ground and insist that he help me.  I told him it's not that easy.  But I am going to insist that he look into my problems and not just write me off.

I really hope he is a good neuro. even though he isn't a MS specialist.  I just want to get my MRI's and if I have to a LP.  If he doesn't, then I guess I am headed 1/2 way across the state to a MS specialist, since there doesn't seem to be any close to me.

I hope that I can get some answers before my husband leaves on Sept 12th.  I know it's basically impossible to move that fast in this case, but I am crossing my fingers anyway.  

I got some blood drawn yesterday to check for low B12, Lyme and a few other things.  So I'm on my way to rule out things.

I'll post again after my appointment, probably to cry to all of you because he told me I am crazy or something.  Wish me luck and send prayers!

You are not crazy - you know your body and something is going on.  Stand your ground and don't be dismissed.  

don't talk like you want to have MS - leave all possibilities open for this neuro to use.  If you suggest MS, they will think you are shoppingfor a dx.  

If possible, don't mention that your husband is leaving, either.  That gives them the all too easy dx of anxiety.

Good luck and let us know how it goes today.
