It depends what you are going for! My husband had one this week, he asked how things were, any problems, did he need a change of medication, etc. Make a list before you go of anything you would particularly like to ask him.
My solicitor is sending me to him for my case . That’s why I’m anxious
I see mine every twelve months (saw him 2 weeks ago) for annual checks and to monitor the dizziness/balance issue.
But for claim purposes you need to emphasise your symptoms more than usual, as insurance companies can be pretty dismissive of symptoms which aren't 'black & white'.
So don't feel bad about an exaggeration here and there ; if we genuinely score an 8 they'll automatically see it as a 5 or less. So if you have all your limbs and can walk and talk you need all the back-up you can get.
Oh and the neuro-consultants I've met have all been particularly supportive and engaging. Good luck Pat. x
Thank you so much cat3 you have totally but me at ease I can relax again, my appointment is after 5 today, I’ll let you know how it goes many thanks x
pat rick mine was totally obnoxious we exchanged several words, my pschiatrist has referred me back, i hope i dont see him again!!!
Ok guys , this is how it went. I liked him he did asked all questions you would ask a bi person . X
How do you feel it went Pat. I know they're meant to be impartial , but did you feel the guy was keeping your interests in mind ? x
That’s a tricky one cat3 , I feel it went ok. But if I walked into any doctor I could easily pass for a None bi person! As I don’t have slurred speech I walk fine etc , does that make sense!!!
It sure does ! That's why we need to exaggerate-to-compensate for our 'normal' appearance. I really hope you've managed to get your message through Pat...........fingers crossed & let us know the result won't you ? x
