That you've gotten a doc behind you? That is not only amazing, but GREAT!!!!
Be sure to say 'THANK YOU THANK YOU' often and with feeling. Good docs run on such fuel and it is well deserved. Yes testing can be and mostly is...a long drawn out process - mainly trying to zero in on WHAT your problems are, but also eliminating hundreds plus of other possible neuro issues.
Take a look at this web site to help you get a handle on all docs look for!
http://www.neuroexam.com/ Knowing what they do to you and why helps make the whole process easier. The why doesn't hurt either.
I've had similar lung tests to yours [I think] and the only discomfort is some soreness from the tube down the throat. Usually? They knock you out, give you post test instructions afterwards and tell you you're likely to live and wait for the 'results' - usually a week to 10+/- days after the test. WAITING is usually the worst part. Patience is best employed here. IF after 2 weeks? You don't get any WORD? Call, and keep calling!
Specialists? I've got so many I can't keep track of them any more! But I've got a LIST of them! The ones that I see 'every 3 months' are my key docs? I'm long overdue to see my GP! Am I worried? No.
Buttercup? After my pneumonia bout? I didn't have much appetite either! So? I ate what I liked, what I could tolerate, and what I knew I needed. There are times when Jello and puddings can be good food! They go down easy and have 'some' nutritional value. Anything that can be tolerated? Even Ice Cream! Go for it! Of course? Cholesterol mite be an issue? But what's that compared to starving? If it goes down easy, and stays down? GOOD for now. Discuss this with your docs as you get further along with what all is happening. See what diet mite be best for you & supplements as well.
Keep hope and faith in yourself! Get help sooner rather than later! Faster they get to the 'Problem'? Sooner other problems can be avoided.
Hugs and hope in heaps!!!!!!!! 's!!!!!!!!!!! - j
