Hey all.

Thankyou so much for your replies to my previous 2 posts.

today I saw the Neurologist and it went well.

I described my symptoms, and thankfully he seemed to understand, and take me seriously. He also seemed to know his stuff...

He is concerned I am having Complex Partial Seizures, and mentioned something about the temporal lobe.

He did a general exam in his office... checking blood pressure, reflexes, eyes etc.. everything seemed to be fine.

He has ordered some blood tests, EEG and MRI>

FOr the EEG I have to sleep deprive myself the night before, and try to take a nap while Im having it done.

After the EEG I will have the MRI done.

Due to insurance problem, wont be having the EEG for another 2 weeks. In the meantime I have been told not to drive, swim, surf, or ride a bike.

I will keep you all informed.

thanks for the support.
 
I glad to hear you're happy with the doctor.

It does sound like complex partial seizures, but the dr. will know after the EEg & MRI.
Please take the doc's advice and don't drive etc. and in the meantime, hang in there!

I am so glad you went! Sounds like you have a good doctor, that always makes it better
 
Good for you! ...I'm glad you went to that appointment :tup:

Now, the waiting. Sometimes that's one of the hardest parts. :agree:

Just stay safe, and your two weeks will pass by quicker than you expect! I'm glad you liked the doctor; he seems to be getting right on top of things (that's a good sign because some of them don't act so quickly).

Keep us updated. -Julie :)
 
Awesome that the appointment went well,
and let's hope it keeps progressing in this
manner ... meanwhile keep hanging around
with us ... We Are Addicting!

:evil2:
 
Glad to hear things went well. Hope the rest goes that way too. :) Best of luck !
