Sorry, me again! I have a GP appointment on Friday, all of my blood tests have come back as normal so I guess we will discuss a possible referral to neuro. Can I ask my GP to refer me for an MRI at the same time so I don’t have to do 2 lots of waiting or does if have to be a neurologist who refers? Thanks for your patience with all my questions. ---

Hiya Cookie, the way it worked for me my GP initially took bloods but said might have to refer to neurology. Was back in after bloods and GP said would need neurology referral, she said she could have a consultation with a neurologist as this sometimes speeds things up (I think she done this online/e-mail), neurologist said refer for MRI first. I have had MRI 3 weeks ago waiting to hear back and hoping i will then get a neurology app. This was N.I. ---

I was the same as Rosie. My GP couldn’t refer me directly for the MRI - it had to come from the Neurologist first. Hope you get sorted soon. ---
