Neuro wait times

Welcome and introductions

Hiya :slight_smile: I’m in the Merseyside area and was referred to whiston hospital I believe whom have sent it over to the Walton centre - I enquired 9 weeks ago how long the wait was and it was 22 weeks I’m now on week 18 and called today to be told it’s now 26 weeks :frowning:

It’s general neurology I’ve been referred to after mri showed lesions - what are they likely to do when I ever get there :frowning: or does anyone recommend any private neuros in the area that won’t fleece me :frowning:

To be honest part of me thinks this probably is ms and if it is I’ve had it at least 10 years when I was told I had cfs with my exhaustion so a few more months won’t matter - but the other part of me is - this needs sorting.

Thanks for listening

Hi, it took 22 years to get my diagnosis of rare PPMS. Because all my tests for MS came back normal, my 4 local hospitals gave up.

I then got a referral to Dr Panicker, who held the Movement Disorder clinic, at The Walton.He had me in for 5 days of tests and saw what 16 other neuros couldnt.

He is a wonderful man! Enquire about a private consultation.
