Neurology specialist??

Hi all, I have been told by two doctors that it’s very probable that I have MS. I had a mri which showed demyelination in my cervical spine. It’s been 7 weeks now and I have yet seen a neurologist despite being referred 7 weeks ago. I can’t work due to my ongoing symptoms. I am from the north east of England (Durham) but I am willing to travel. If anyone can recommend me a neurologist to go private as I have had enough now :frowning:
Thanks in advance x

Hi there, I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. This is a friendly place though!

If you’re going to be going private, normally the hospital that they work in has details on their website of all of the different specialists they use, and a short biography that tells you which areas they focus on. If there’s more than one that looks at ms I have previously found but having a look for your local support Group on Facebook is handy. It is more likely to be monitored than this place, so you’ll get a reply sooner. It Will also have members who are more likely to know who is who in the NHS hospital local to you so you’ll get a good recommendation. They could probably tell you more about what the waiting time is like to get to see the neurologist, getting an appointment within seven weeks would be a miracle for me, but they should know more about what your Health trust is like. Good luck with everything😊
