During the time I have been on the forum, it has been becoming more and more apparent that the treatment options seem to be wider in the US & Canada than here in the UK.

This isn't a gripe but over here we seem to be told take paracetamol and virtually go sit in a darkened room until your better. Whilst over there you guys seem to be offered a lot of mainstream medication and offers to go trials for potential new ones.

Apart from the usual doctorly advice - don't smoke, drink, avoid recreational drugs, loose weight etc. We don't get any complimentary advice - take vitamins, drink plenty fluid avoid certain foods which seems to be completely different to what is available in the US / Canada.

One thing that seems to be universal is the variation in the capability / knowledge of Neurologists / Neuropsychologists - they either seem to be useless or very good, with nothing much in between.

Any views ?
