Dr. Smith,
I do appreciate your reassurance, however I also have daytime tremors and muscle twitches. I also am concerned b/c these jumps keep me from sleep and have been going on for a month and a half. If it is possible to put the vids up here I can show you - I am pretty sure that my next step is to try to get referred to a neurologist. What can I expect at a neurologist appointment? Also would it matter whether I saw a neurologist that specializes in sleep disorders or in limb movement? Thanks again, Matt |

I've been to a few neuros for various reasons. Don't expect much the first visit (though you may get lucky); usually a discussion about what's wrong, and maybe a generalized workup that feels/seems more like a sobriety test. Then you'll get scheduled for some testing, and then a follow-up to discuss the results of the testing. what to expect neurologist Doc

In any case, thank you also for explaining what goes on when I go see a neuro. I have been internally and on here waffling between spending more $$ (close to $3,000 already ) on doctors to try to get an answer, or simply living with my symptoms but I think I may cave and see a neuro. This whole experience has been shocking, and a wake up call for me as I have never needed to go through the medical world outside of the routine flus, vaccinations, strep throat etc. It feels like a revolving door, or maze truly. One other quick question if you don't mind - what other specialists could be consulted in this? I am guessing that it depends on the results of the tests that I have done? I am ubber appreciative of the responses you and all the others have posted here. I would seriously be going crazy if it was not for this forum. Thanks again! Matt |
