If you know what are the relevant blood tests then maybe you can request those tests now and then ask the neuro on Feb to interpret the results. If any of the results is positive you can do your homework before the neuro appointment and know better what to ask.
Otherwise the neuro might request the test on Feb, then you will have to wait again for a second appointment for the interpretations and recommended treatments.
If the neuro is not familiar with these tests (most of the neuro that I met know nothing about these tests…) he might refuse to order them and then you waited 3 months for nothing.
