    Update:Neuro and Psychiatrist

    Toto, Thank you for your reply. I know I sound negative and skeptical. I'm sorry. It is not necessarily that I don't believe the neuro. I keep telling myself clean EMG, good clinical exam, no ALS. I just know how long it took many of you to get a diagnosis and how often I see "everyone is...

    Update:Neuro and Psychiatrist

    Hello, I haven't posted in awhile and I'm sure many of you wonder why I am now. It may be difficult to follow my situation since I don't post very often. But I am posting because I covet the advice and help from people who really know and from those who have been where I am. Also, I hope that...

    Judy, Sorry it took me so long to reply. I went to a neuro in Little Rock. In the beginning they thought I might have MG or MS. This neuro did testing that he said ruled out those things. I began having other symptoms and his exam was not very thorough at all. So I asked for a referral to UAMS...

    Judy, sorry to bother you. I noticed you live in Arkansas too. If you don't mind my asking, I was wondering what neurologist you go to. Is that where you got your diagnosis? I have been to two different neurologists in Little Rock and am still trying to find out what is going on with me. Thanks...

    Update and, of course, more questions

    Alyoop, Thank you for your suggestion. I will write down my questions and try to get them answered. The neuro didn't note any clonus in the exam at the end of Nov. I wasn't having these types of problems then....so thought maybe it wouldn't show up in exam until now. But I will ask at my next...

    Update and, of course, more questions

    Notme, I'm sorry my posts are so hard to read. At the very least I should do more spacing. I don't intend for them to be so long. I will try to do better next time. There was actually a post and discussion on here from a caregiver mentioning the problem her pals had with a runny nose when they...

    Update and, of course, more questions

    Judy, This is the second neuro I have seen. I went to the first one because of a problem with my eye that suggested MG or MS. He tested me for both. Tests normal. I was beginning to experience other symptoms during this time but he did not pursue them. So I obtained a referral for a second...

For any one who might be interested here's my update. I had my 2nd neuro appointment in mid Dec. when they did the nerve conduction study and the EMG...

    Had My Neuro Appt

    Hello All, Well I had my neuro appt yesterday. I will have to say this neuro was soooo much better than the 1st one I saw. I wish I could have seen her in the beginning and I think I would be a lot further down this road by now. Anyway, she was very kind and caring and seemed attentive and...

    new on here and wondering

    Helen, Thanks for your reply. I did not actually have an EMG (unless that's the same as a nerve conduction study) Maybe I don't fully understand it. I thought he was going to do an EMG but he did nothing with needles into the muscles. The first neuro conducted the nerve conduction test. What...
