Default Neuro Appt/Test Results

Not quite sure what to make of this. I've never been called back after having any test results done. Usually I've been called back and told- "inconclusive" "negative" "no findings", etc.

I called both neurologists assistants on Friday (thursday had both tests- ENG/MRI) to follow up when the doctors would read my tests. Luckily I did or they would have had me wait for 3 weeks with the ENG report and another week/two for the MRI. That is just how they both do things due to being over worked, understaffed and too many patients. I explained to both assistants how awful I've been feeling, etc. and they said they would help me out- and they both did.

The neurologist who read the ENG test read it last Friday. He spoke with the PA's assistant, hand delivered the ENG test to him, told him to schedule an appointment so I can see the PA about my ENG test results and told the assistant to make sure the PA reads the MRI immediately. This is a first for me. Never has a doctor followed up like that with anything- ever.

So, I'm not quite sure if that is a good thing, or a bad thing, or what on earth to think of it.

Can someone tell me some thoughts as to what this means. Maybe it means nothing. Has this ever happened to any of you out there when you were first diagnosed?

Please help. I need some guidance. I'm scared. Need answers. Need some hope at the same time for relief of my symptoms. Not sure what on earth to think at all.

Thank you.
