So, several months ago I had an MRI on my brain which showed:
Lesion in occipital part of brain causing diplopia.
Arachnoid cyst enlarged since last MRI in '07.
Spinal cord compression in neck.
I was referred back to Neurology Dept I haven't been to for years because of disillusionment (never getting to see same Dr twice/constantly changing meds) and a very good Pain Management team. The intention is to discuss:
Cause of the lesion and chances of others happening.
Cyst being responsible for at least some of my problems, numbness/weakness/falls/etc.
Cause of compression and risks of further injury and deterioration.
My TN, caused by arterial knot round nerve, getting worse.

These points were all listed in the referral letter (I've checked with my GP's Medical Secretary), yet the Dept - because I suffer Cluster Headaches - put me on the waiting list for a Headache Clinic.
I now have to wait a further 12-16 weeks for the correct appt to come through.
Does anyone else have such frustrating experiences with Neurology Depts?

Not being negative - just venting, so:
What's large, grey, wrinkled and wears glass slippers?
