Questions to ask Neurologist-first consultation

Hi guys,

I’ve recently been told by my GP that the MRI I had showed “possible demyelination/MS”. I’ve managed to get an appointment with a Neurologist on Monday, but I need to know what questions I should ask him as I know very little (please no long words! lol)

Many thanks in advance

Anthony

hi anthony

​there is no need for you to prepare questions at this point.

the neuro may appreciate some input on which symptoms first appeared and when, did they stop, get worse etc.

when it comes to him/her giving you a diagnosis, ask if it is relapsing remitting (this is the best flavour because i means you can get onto a Disease Modifying Drug).

you should be allocated an ms nurse.

have you any idea of which DMD you’d like to try?

the ms trust have a leaflet on this topic.

you must have something that you want to know.

do i need Vitamin D?

can i still go scuba diving? ride my motorbike?

these questions are fine. the neuro will probably say continue as normal.

do NOT get stressed - stress is the enemy!
