Evening all, I have an appointment with the neurologist on Monday following a second MRI scan. Can anyone give me advise on questions to ask?
Hi Pipsqueak
First off - take notes regarding what the Neuro tells you about the MRI results.
If there is anything you don’t understand - ask them to clarify what they mean.
Ask what can be done regarding your symptoms and/or results of the MRI.
Ask if any referrals to other disciplines are required.
Ask how often/when you will be reviewed.

Make sure you get copies of all notes passing between your GP and Neurology team. You may be getting these anyway but worth making sure. In particular, look out for the internal report from the Neuroradiologist to the Neurologist. It won’t make much sense at first but use the indecipherable words to further your research!

Do I ask the neurologist for these?
Yes
Thank you
I’d definitely agree with trying to make sure you know what will happen next, and when, by the time you leave. It’s not nice to be left hanging, unsure of how long the next stage is likely to take.
If it’s a second MRI, I’d want to ask whether there have been changes since the last one.
