Neuro appt
Wow, thanks so much for the kindness and support. I know I am not crazy, but I have a goofy sense of humor which helps me cope with things. I asked one of my doctors if I could be experiencing the effects of a voodoo curse and if I could get a referral to a witch doctor. Most neurologists, I'm discovering have no sense of humor, which is a bummer.
I had an appt yesterday and he said the results of my vestibular testing show there is a deficit on one side, and I was dizzy and stuttering yesterday, so he wants me to be evaluated by an ENT, a speech therapist, and to get balance therapy. He will not order a lumbar puncture, a spine MRI, or further bloodwork because he says my brain MRI is too pristine and my symptoms are an atypical presentation that he does not think is MS and frankly doesn't think is neurological. I frankly think I need a new doctor and am going to schedule with the neurologists at the University of Utah teaching hospital. I told him I had talked to my mothers cousin, who has MS, and that she said her lesions only showed up a year after her first MRI and symptoms appeared. Anybody have any suggestions for testing I should request?
Thank you thank you for your love, support, friendship, and advice!!!
