I first developed PN in January 2020 and was referred in February 2020. I had conduction tests in June 2020 and 2 sets of MRI Scans that summer. All negative. Due to Covid I had a telephone consultation in October 2020. I had my first face to face consultation with a Neurologist last Friday.

The tests he did would have been indistinguishable from the ones he would have carried out 40 or 50 years ago. This entailed walking in a line, feeling a prick ( and believe me I did) in various parts of my body, pushing and pulling tests to test motor function. Brief ophthalmoscopy with an ancient ophthalmoscope. An exam failing undergraduate standard attempt at confrontational visual fields. A blood pressure test that was aborted too early to have any practical value. No working knowledge of my notes or medication (none). In short it was a waste of my and his time.

I would be interested to hear experience with your Neurologist when that happens Mark.

I agree with TN Thomas, I have minor symptoms and I just get on with it.
