Default I know in Britain it's difficult--

--to get prompt diagnostics the way the National Health Service works, but it does seem that there's been little pattern or plan to your diagnostic journey from the doctors there (at least yet).

Neurological symptoms that come from many different places/causes can feel exactly the same--a problem in your spine can show up in the extremities, but those sensations can also possibly be from problems with peripheral nerves and not the spine--and that's why most neurological diagnoses are long processes of elimination.

I think the Liza Jane spreadsheets might help--these are lists of tests for neural symptoms, organized and set up to track results over time:

Get any results from tests you've had so far, and then arrange them and track them--the charts area also good for suggesting testing avenues to doctors that they might not think of themselves.
