Hello, I just signed up to post a thread for the first time.

I have been having many neuro signs and symptoms and finally have an appt. with a neurologist.

Background:
20 years ago- doctors suggest I suffered 2 TIA's- right side temp. paralysis and loss of speech for about 5 hours.
12 years ago- massive headache lasting nearly 2 days- once gone, woke up with double vision. - Still experience vision disturbances.
Numbness in hands/ feet/ legs for as long as I can remember.
2 yrs ago- Sudden tiredness- sleeping 20-22 hours a day- lasted weeks,wetting bed because I could not wake up.
Had 2 MRI's 6 mos apart- MANY scattered white lesions- no increase.
Since being so ill 2 years ago, notice cognitive impairment, poor memory, strangely I do a lot of speech/ spelling backwards. For example, OFTEN write words backwards when typing- "doing" comes out "goind"- Frequently!
Headaches, jaw pain although those have subsided recently. Blood tests are fine, no other health concerns, generally active and healthy.

Any suggestions or things I should ask the neurologist would be greatly appreciated.
