Hi,
our daughter has been struggling with her eyesight for the past few months, amongst other symptoms. She was referred to an MRI and today she saw the consultant ophthalmologist. Prior to this it was indicated to her that it could be MS. Today the consultant said it was very likely but it needs to be confirmed by the Neurologist. She is a beautiful girl and only 27 years old. We had been expecting it from other conversations but are still holding out hope that the Neurologist will say otherwise.
The issue is that we have been waiting months for the Neurologist due to Covid. We keep asking his secretary and she said that our daughter is on the list and he will get around to her but she has no idea when.
Financially we are ok and could afford a private consultation. The secretary is back on Thursday and we will phone again. The consultant called today on our behalf but there was no reply. Everyone is very kind and apologetic but we are not getting anywhere.
We are just clinging to each other at the moment and have no idea what to do. The Neurologist is Dr C Hillier at Bournemouth. He is an MS specialist.
We are devastated and just need some friendly advice on anything at all we can do?
Also, is she going to be worse off at her age with the additional wait?
thank you ever so much for any help that you are able to give
Thank you
