Also, has anyone suggested a spinal tap test? That will give useful info too.
Don't be afraid to switch doctors if you feel you aren't being heard or getting what you need. Be proactive. YOU know what's going in your body better than anyone else. If something feels wrong and you aren't getting help, find someone who can help you.
Good luck!  |
Natalie - thanks for your response. I am switching insurance next month so that will be a good opportunity for me to find another neuro. Unfortunately right now I have HMO so I can only see this two people (i think). I'm 25 so I'm fortunately pretty inexperienced with all this doctor and insurance stuff. Learning fast tho
My neuro did say he could do a LP but that it would cause me a lot of bad headaches and might not be conclusive. More recently I have been suffering with terrible weakness in my legs and feet. I can't walk or stand for long at all. Good luck to you!
