A visit to the hospital

[Knittlng]

A visit to the hospital. After not seeing my consultant for a year I now have an appointment at the end of the month. I am wondering what questions I should ask. Reading through all your letters it appears that there might be something that could be given to help the problem getting any worse.

Thank you in advance Dee

Have you been to your appointment Dee? I'm interested to know how you got on.Sometimes it can be quite an anticlimax. Patsy x

Yes, my neurologist seems very knowledgeable about Ataxia and feels it is progressing too fast so is Sending me for more blood tests and more scans. No magic cure I’m afraid

Dear Patsy, I forgot to mention that depending on what the blood tests show there might be a drug that can help me. It is called. ACETAZOLAMIDE. Does anyone know anything about this drug? Dee
