Second Opinion (New Neurologist)
 

My neurologist "can't do anything for me" and thinks all my problems are psychiatric...so I'm being sent to a new neurologist today for a second opinion.

Yippee!!!

Why do I have the feeling that this neurologist is going to be no different than the last two?

I've been in a constant decline since my injury. I have absolutely not one lasting improvement to show to this day. There is OBVIOUSLY something going on.

I've gone from being able to communicate well, think fairly well, driving a car, watching TV and playing video games to not being able to do any of that anymore. These are improvements people speak of...not declines, right? I wake up every 2-3 months with another horrible decline...feels like I'm being kicked in the head every few months.

I started getting NUCCA adjustments in the middle of February, which was showing some pretty positive improvements. It was great...but it didn't last. Now I'm starting to wonder if it was a placebo effect this whole time.

So I'll report back here after my appointment...probably won't have much to say.

Well, i wish you good luck, i had 3 different neurologists aswell....
Last one prescribed me cool pills for "schizophrenia" lol, cool staff, works well for anxiety.

Yep, same thing as every other Neurologist.

He requested another EEG (third one I've had) and he wants the actual film from my MRI's. I've never had a Neurologist ask for that...so not exactly the same thing...but pretty much.

I've been in a constant decline since September...not one lasting improvement.

I hate PCS.

Have you seen a physiatrist? I found that my neurologist was more interested in figuring out what was going on in my brain (short answer: nobody *really* knows) whereas my physiatrist was interested in helping me do what I could to get better.
