Hi, not sure why first post didn’t work. So if you see it I apologize, somehow it disappeared.

I’ll try to make this short even I have alot to say.

Back history:

Grandma and great grandma had Alzheimers and my mom had MS. Grandpa and unlce both had enlarged hearts. Grandpa had a stroke and uncle passed away due to multiple blood clots.

I recently had an neck x-ray done and it showed mild degeneration in c 5-6. I deal with neck pain daily along with pain and burning sensations. Crawling on my head and pain and burning often going down my neck to my forearms and sometimes in my legs. Recently started feeling dull blunt pain in forearms and right hand on both sides.

Other symptoms include pupils not matching up, mis-reading things, mis-judging the space around my vehicle when parking. Jumbled words, forgetful words, and dropping things (my hand just opens sometimes).

I have alot of other symptoms but would prefer to leave it at that. Anyone else relate?

My Primary referred me to a neurologist, saying he would be good to answer my questions. Ive already seen one other neurologist in the same office, for a syncope episode, and he overlooked me due to my age.. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Any advice? I feel like I may get blown off again.

Hi,

I can’t really relate to all your problems, but I think you should definitely persist in getting some sort of diagnosis! Especially as there’s a lot of history in your family ‘

Sometimes you have to nag to get results, unfortunately.

Make sure you do.
