What did I "learn" today?
I am in a massive amount of pain.
I have painful parasthesia, left side, with little feeling except for the pain in my legs.
I have no strength upper body or arms.
The left side of my head/face is painfully numb.
I have double vision.

What was really "new" information?
My double vision is far worse than first measured.
My brain is splattered with many more "white matter lesions" than '07.
Arachnoid Cyst has doubled in length.

Hour-long appointment Conclusion:
Nothing can be done about double vision - knew that.
Symptomatic Arachnoid Cysts don't exist in this Country.
Neurotoxicity of solvents is not taught in Med School.

What was ignored - typed list, bearing in mind I was in for an HOUR:
Question as to cause of lesions.
Q. What is compressing spinal cord in my neck.
Q. Everything about Arachnoid Cyst being symptomatic, mental and physical.
Q. Referred stabbing pain in upper arms and left leg, below knee.
Q. New needle sharp, bright white pains in feet, legs, some torso and hands.

From now on I will stick with my wonderful GP and PM Team.

Dave.
