Hi Cresham1981, and WELCOME!


I agree that you need to see a competent neurologist and a competent ophthalmologist, and I hope you won't have long waits for either of them.

You mentioned that the doctor you saw clearly hadn't looked at your history. This is one of my main gripes about a lot of doctors. Some will pay attention to the history but all too many don't even seem to have glanced at it.

I know they have very little time but a person's history seems important to me.

You might have to do some digging to find out if a doctor is competent but you can easily find out what a doctor's specialties are and whether he/she is board-certified (and not just board-eligible). Sometimes patients' ratings can be helpful too.

Hope you'll let people here know what's going on with you.
