Hi, Ruben562,

Any doctor should have done some lab work on you if you're having the symptoms you mention. If nothing unusual shows up on the lab tests, then the usual procedure is to move on to other types of tests.

It's important not to be uneasy when you're at the doctor's appointment. If you're too worried, you might be more confused or forgetful than usual, and you want to be alert so as to understand exactly what the doctor says.

Often doctors' offices are giving out an "after-visit summary" for you to take with you, and it should spell out what your test results are and what the doctor has gone over with you.

It sounds as if you're a bit uneasy about seeing the neurologist. I hope you can try to stay calm. Some doctors are huffy and even rude but they can be replaced if you feel that a doctor isn't dealing with your problems adequately. It's you who are hiring that doctor, and if you don't like the treatment you're getting, you can move on.
