Hi.

I hope everything goes well for tomorrow with the Neurologist.

Yes try for the diagnosis as well.

What Svs did you get in 2010 ??

Have you had any further Svs since.

It sounds like you have had it tough since your RTA.

Please let me know if I can help you further ???

Steve.

Comanchero I hope it all goes well for you... It is easy to build this appointment up into a really big thing (I know we did) so to avoid any disappointment it may help to be prepared for them not to have all the answers you need ..and if they do have all the answers it will be a huge bonus ;)

Hi Comanchero.

Spend some time tonight writing down a list of things you want to know.

Make them into questions and leave space for very short answers. Make sure that one of them is to ask to get a copy of the report.

What type of rehab you would prioritise? List it as well.

Hope it all goes well.

Love n hugs

Xoxo

Hope it goes well - are you taking someone with you ? Write all your questions and answers down . Ask for an email address if you can - I used the consultant's email to get answers about things I had forgotten to ask ...

good luck

Dear Comanchero, I totally agree with all the above advice, never give up, keep asking questions and pushing, pushing, my final sign-off appointment with my neurologist was completed with, 'General trend is re-assuring', I wrote that down, and stuck it on the fridge door. I still couldn't walk straight, had massive fatigue....thought i was going mad. Keep trying alternative treatments, they are the only ones that have helped me, the conventional paths have not helped a jot, and Hedway has been my life-saving prop, nobody else explained things like they do. Good luck xxx

Hello Comanchero, Jules here

Let us all know how things went with your appointment

Regards

Jules
