Hi i had an MRI in May and the results went to a neurologist and then i recieved a letter to say a routine appointment is in the system. So this week ive now got an appointment with a neurologist Dr from salford royal hospital. Have you any advice about what i can ask on the day pls
Depends very much on the conversations which have preceded the appointment.
Will this appointment be the first time you have met with the neurologist?
Yes this will be my first appointment…i also have ME and Fibromyalgia
I would imagine a lot depends on the results of the mri and a neurological exam.
You may well be asked to explain your symptoms, and how long you have been experiencing them.
If evidence supports ms or not, you could ask if there is any other testing that may be worth doing (have in mind if asked such tests as a lumbar puncture, nerve and visual testing).
If you are diagnosed with ms, ask about a treatment plan, ms team and support.
Not sure if I have been of any help but as pointed out a lot depends on previous discussions and what has led you to this point.
I hope your appointment goes well.
Thank you
You’ve been a massive help
