Then maybe they will run some tests (labs, EMG, MRI, LP, etc) to rule out various neuro or autoimmune disorders.

The day I saw neurologist I was feeling ok. I don't know what doctors are like where you are from but here in Ireland you can be waiting upto 2 years for an appointment. I will be lucky to get re-seen again in a years time. There is a huge history of autoimmune disease on my parents side and I was diagnosed with Graves disease in 2006 but it is in remission since 2009 and I am not on any meds for it. Both my parents have pernicious anemia so I have had my b12 levels checked also and was told they were fine. Last test in February was 451 pg/ml (range 180 to 1160). Really fed-up as i am a positive person and really feel now like it is all in my head even though I know it is not if that makes sense. Whatever is going on is attacking my nerves intermitently and I feel like I am drunk (I dont drink, bar once or twice a year). Horrible feeling. Thanks
