Hi, All. After 12-plus weeks of strange (left-sided) paraesthesia, hyperesthesia and pain on my left hip and leg, as well as significant fatigue, my symptoms are finally starting to "lift." During the past three weeks, I've been working very hard to get in with a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic, since it is close to my home. I have seen one neurologist (referred by my PCP), and he only did a lumbar MRI and EMG and said both were negative so we should "wait and see" for now. On Friday, I finally got the referral to Mayo and was able to get an appointment for next week (with the help of a friend). Of course, just like when you take a car in to the shop for a funny noise, my worst symptoms seem to be subsiding. My question is this: Should I keep my appointment? It may seem strange to come in--after so many weeks of feeling miserable--and hardly have any symptoms....??? If they do want to do any tests, will they still show what's happening when i don't have symptoms? From what I've read, a brain MRI would probably show the white lesions, whether or not I was experiencing symptoms. But what about a lumbar puncture? Will they take me seriously, if I explain that my symptoms WERE really bad? Any advice anyone on here has would be greatly appreciate. Thank you so much!
