Ok I told u I was gonna PM this but I'm gonna post it here case anyone can add to something I forgot. For when you go to the neuro on Tues........

Take a written or typed timeline of your symptoms short to the point, dates they began, are they still ongoing?

Doctors have a short period of time to digest alot of info and try to diagnose you, Give him the paper and let HIM do the talking..question asking.

take a list of your current medications and how many you are taking include if that medication works for you or not.

I already told u this but....Do NOT NOT talk about how incompetent all your other doctors are or have been.

If you have CD's, other tests results take those too.

Be patient, stay calm, and keep an open mind!

When the neuro asks you what you are there for give him a BRIEF synopsis of why and hand him the paper. Remember the more u talk, the less time he has to actually try to figure out the problem.
