I do not seem to be able to vote on this poll. I see my neurologist annually but cannot seem to find a place to say this.

Hi Tim

Although I set this poll it is not appearing on my homepage. Does it appear on your homepage?

No, I don't think it does. I just see the result of it (on the poll page) and can't seem to vote.

It is on my homepage now. I don't understand why you can't vote. Have you selected an answer and then clicked on 'vote'?

Working now : )

I have not seen my Neurologist for over a year now. I have only seen him twice and both times were referrals by my own GP?

Hi Maryrose

Oh my goodness. Is there a reason why you don't see a neurologist regularly?

I have never been told I need to .... and because I dont feel the need to...i just get on with it,i know what i can or cant do,if im in discomfort i rest and take a painkiller if required..if i fall over i fall over...i may sound crazy but i can assure you im not..like i said i just get on with it,,,what can a neurologist do for me that i myself or my friends and family cant do..

Hi Mary

I don't think you sound crazy at all. Quite the opposite in fact. You sound like a very gutsy lady! Do you have a good relationship with your GP? Are you monitored for diabetes and heart problems?

Very, very interesting.

I may seen a neurologist at some time after my accident(I had a faily serious road accident more than 20 years ago), I haven't seen anyone lately. What would you recomend? Are things related to my head injury, ataxia or good old age.Or are things a com bination? What should my plan be?

I voted by the way.
