Hello everyone:

My husband first neuro appt. is this Fri. so we are wondering if there is anything he should listen for or ask about right off the bat.

His appt was suppose to be in Jan. 09 but he got in on a cancelation after waiting for about 3 months.

Just a little background, he has had numbness in his feet and one hand. He feet are sore (he dosen't take any pain meds. only a few tylenol now and then) and feels as if there is a cramp going to happen in his feet any minute. This has been going on for 4 or 5 yrs now. Our last family doctor did 2 cortizone injections, the first helping the 2nd did nothing. He then said there was nothing he could do, to just live with it. He also has orthotics.

We now have a new dr. and she has tested for B12 deficiency and it come back at 239. He is now on B12 shots once a month and 2000 mcg Methyl sublingual per day and 1000 mg cyanacobalamin. He has not seen much improvment yet. ( he has been taking the b12 for about 6 weeks. He also has an appt. for a EMG study in Sept.

Thank You and any help would be greatly appricated.
Nancy
