Neuro Recommendations
 
I had my SFEMG on this past Friday, and all came back normal. Really really normal. No one is at all sure what that means right yet, but more on that later.

What I really wanted to let folks know is that I HIGHLY recommend the IU Med Center Neurology Clinic. The Dr. who did my tests ( pm me if you want more info) was awesome and amazing. He had a fellow with him, who was learning, and did some of the locations under his supervision ( you have to learn), but then the senior Dr did the testing as well. They were both very concerned with keeping me warm, checked thoroughly with an infrared tester, shared the tests results and explained them in great detail. They took their time, did not rush. Let let me ask questions and when I brought up hypothesis about possibility of SCS, did not in ANY way discount me, laugh and brought it directly into consideration.

I was MUCH impressed with the knowledge and thoroughness they had and would very much recommend them for anyone needing specialized testing.

Did you see Dr. K? An older doctor who wears a bow tie? I'm not sure if we can mention Dr's names here or not. I was impressed with him when I saw him too. My symptoms have changed so much that I think it might be worth me taking a trip to see him. What are they going from here? Are you having more tests?

You can PM me if you'd like.

What does UI stand for as if UI medical center. Reason I ask is that tells me what state you are talking about a good doctor in.

Annie, It's IU as in Indiana University Medical Center. It's in Indianapolis. I'm not sure how close you are to them, but it might be worth a trip for you if it's not too far.

Yep, It was indeed Dr K. He should be training all neuros ;-)
It is obvious he was my local Neuro's teacher.. the bedside manner and caring are evident. next steps are unsure, my local neuro is out for the holiday ( although he answered an email from me earlier this week), my next appointment is Jan 5. Until then, I am trying to chill into a holding pattern and enjoy the holidays. Keep note of symptoms for discussion

I'm glad you had such a good experience with him. Out of all of the neuros I have seen, he was one of the most knowledgeable and caring.

Let us know how your follow-up appointment goes.

Enjoy the holidays!
