I'm seeing a new neurologist first thing Wed morning.
I have previously had two appointments with another neurologist, at the same hospital but unfortuantely he has now retired :worried:
I orginally arranged the appointment specifically to see the guy I'd seen before as he was great with me &honest about being taught at medical school that ME was not a real illness but that he had seen 100's of ME patients while practising &assured me he knew it was a very real physical illness. Go Mr Tilley!! :Retro smile:
On both my visit's to my (highly regarded but now retired) neurologist Mr Tilley I was too unwell to discuss things fully with him &I now have questions regarding the tests he mentioned me possibly having etc. Starting over with a new one is concerning me after having terrible experiences with an Infectious Diseases Consultant over many years who basically bullied &shouted at me.
Moreover, I don't want to get home &think of things I should have said or asked about while there as it has taken over 4months to get my appointment!
Anyone able to give advice on how best to deal with a new neuorolgist? I'm tempted just to concentrate on knowing my symptoms &see what his reaction is so I can judge his performance? On the other hand I keep doing google searches looking at what tests I think should be done etc... so I can go in with a stack of info incase he's useless. My minds spinning over this :worried:
