I am new here but I would implore you to try and see another doctor if at all possible. My first visit to a neurologist was very disheartening. My appointment was literally the last before their Christmas break. He spent no more than two minutes looking at my MRI scans before saying there was nothing wrong with me and I should just be happy I was healthy. They were opening champagne bottles as I paid my bill. I left in tears.
I asked for a second opinion. The receptionist for this neurologist rang and said that if the surgeon decided to see me, she would ring me in about six months to let me know when the appointment would be - probably another six months after that.
I rang my GP in tears. Later that same day I received a call from another surgery who said they would see me in a week. This neurologist has been amazing. We still haven't got to the root of the problem but he cares AND he listens. That is half the battle. You need to find someone who will listen to you and really try to help you. I feel for you Allison and hope you find someone to help you soon.View Thread
