neurologist

Hello all! I'm new here, and I'll start with some background info. I previously had a cerebral AVM rupture that resulted in a craniotomy to repair. Last year, a regrowth, residual, or new development was detected deep within the brain and radiostatic surgery was the best option (so far, no...

I am now eligible for FMLA through my employer (huzzah!) and the paperwork was due two months ago. I had first faxed it to my neurologist two weeks before it was due, and didn't hear anything back so I thought he had filled it out. I contacted the company that takes care of the FMLA, and they...

Hey everyone!! SO: Monday was my EEG. Not gonna lie.... that was torture. Felt extremely sick all week. Had a headache for 2 days straight! I didn't have a "seizure" but after the strobe light, i had horrible vertigo. But tomorrow morning is my neurology appointment, which will show the...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted maybe three years? Jeez, I thought it would be a good thing to return as it can be a bit lonely to go through something by yourself. I live in a frustrating area of the country, I'm only 25 miles from Chicago and Illinois border yet I'm...

Can anyone help? Even if it just answering just one of the questions . I have just opened a letter from my neurologist post my first MRI, I had first seizure for 15 years and it is being suggested I go on lamotrigine. I am still waiting for EEG results but I do not really understand the...

Okay, as I recall last I was here was telling you about my vibrating foot. Did I cover that it turns out to be Neuropathy? I had ALL kinds of tests, talk about opening a can of worms. I may have said that my Neurologist ordered bloodwork and they found a protein in the blood that wasn't...

Hello gang, I'm starting over with a new neuro in 3 days since the last one I was just seeing decided he didn't know what tests to run and couldn't make sense of all my symptoms, so I'm starting with a new neuro to try and nail down my seizures (the call them invoulantary body movements since...

I was looking at the conditions they have listed in my records from the clinic I see my Neurologist at and it now says I have Non Epileptic Seizures but at the same time it says I have Epilepsy. I just read where you can have both and it might explain the seizure I had but my Neurologist has...

I just got back from the Neurologists office and he said that most of my bloodwork was completely normal but there is an extra protein in the blood BUT he said it was so slight, it's barely there and most likely it'll clear up on it's own. He's going to send me to a Hemotologist to make sure...

I have my appointment this Friday at 9 AM with my Neurologist. He's going to test me for Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. From my understanding, he's going to attach electrodes along several places along my leg and foot and it'll tell him if I have Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. He's already done a basic test...

ARRGH, this is frustrating. I have waited for FIVE WEEKS to get to see the Neurologist for my vibrating foot and they called today, ONE DAY before my appointment to tell me he won't be in the office and rescheduled me one week later. I can't believe it, this is the third time it's happened since...

Hi I have just posted earlier today in the new people section and got some lovely replies. I am being tested for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (simple, partial I think) as I get déjà vu episodes complete with hideous fear, nausea, tingling arm, audio/visual hallucinations. I also have mood...

ok so i minced words with the neuros nurse, told her i feel he's pushing me under the rug since i have a lot of symtpoms, seizures, numbness, blurriness and more. She procceds to tell me well your neuro is very good, his main speciality is seizures, i asked her then how in the heck can he not...

hello again, ABout a week ago the neuro, took me off all meds and i was against this since my seizures were getting better again, I've been going through periods of doing ok and then having a few in a row at night and just a few SPS, during the day. Well now that im off the meds ive been having...

I'm scheduled to see the Neurologist February 15th at 11:00 AM for my foot, YAY. So hopefully he can figure this thing out. It's vibrating constantly, when I go to bed, when I wake & sometimes I get pins and needles feeling. UGH. I can feel it but I'm going to buy a stethascope to see if I can...

I went to my Neurologists office to ask about an appointment concernining my foot problem and I've been seeing him OVER two years because of having a seizure but they said I need a NEW referral from my doctor to see him about my foot because it's a new problem and right now without it, he can...

I just got the bloodwork results earlier, my doctor's nurse called and said the bloodwork is normal. Normal Thyroid, Normal Vitamin B levels & Normal Glucose (No Diabetes), which is all good but my foot is still vibrating and driving me nuts. He tested for those three cause the vibrating is a...

hey friends! So the new neuro, decides since all my scans and tests are normal to have me go to a tlak doc who specializes in seizures and PNES, and since i show symptoms of seizures and possible MS he's wondering why the neuro isnt treating me better for the other symptoms and why hes...

I just got back from my appointment not long ago and it went well. First thing he always asks me is if I had any seizures but this time he added, asking me if I had any seizures or episodes. I told him no. He asked me how I was feeling and I said fine. He said the EEG was completely normal...

Well, the day has come, my Neurologist appointment is tomorrow an for the first time, I'm a bit nervous. Maybe cause I don't really know the full results of the EEG, only that it came back normal but doesn't explain anything in detail. Plus I'll be giving him my history of head traumas and...
