Hello Jess, I was really hoping your doctor’s visit would go well for you. I don’t know what’s the matter with neurologists. So many of them are arrogant and think they’re god’s gift to the human race. If they can’t make an accurate diagnosis, then of course the cause must be psychological! Did he even mention your high CRP level? That’s certainly not all in your head.

If you don’t mind a few suggestions, I think it is quite important for you to have your MRIs and blood tests for B12 and D redone as soon as possible. I don’t think you need to wait until 8/4 to have these done. Since you have already had the imaging and tests done before, your GP should be able to order these for you right away. My PCP was able to order these very quickly for me after I encountered problems with my neurologist.

Your B12 levels are quite important, because a B12 deficiency can cause demyelination and many of the neurological symptoms that are typical of MS. If you are deficient, you want to start supplementation as soon as possible. If you wait too long, some of the associated neurological problems can become permanent. To be safe you may also want to supplement with B12 (methylcobalamin) even if your test results are on the low side of normal. There is a sticky B12 thread on the PN forum which has many pages of helpful information.
