Hi Susie,

Sorry to hear you are having such problems. Also sorry to hear that your wait to get in to see a neuro is SO long.

Personally, I might look for another doctor and get in sooner. (Keep your July 6th appt anyhow - as you might want a second opinion.) Can you tell this neuro that it is an emergency? This sounds pretty emergent to me. Then again, I think that when it comes to these symptoms and problems with the brain - it is an emergency to me. But if this original doc can't get you in sooner than July 6th - I'd find someone else for now. Besides - you will need lots of testing done - so getting someone to start that as soon as possible would be good for you. Your GP could probably order many of these tests, too, but having a full neuro exam sounds like it needs to happen.

Wish I had more to offer.

Good luck and keep us posted,

~Keri
