Re: [TMIC] neuro visits

[JHarper33]

That's exactly how I am, Cheryl. I haven't seen a neuro at least since we've lived here, 7+ years (TM hit 10 years ago in another state). I am not sure how long I saw the neuro in GA. At least a good year, maybe longer.   Even though there are still problems, they are pretty stable and I'm used to the fluctuations now when they occur. There is no need for continuing MRIs if everything is about the same. But if I had any concerns at all I wouldn't hesitate to push for one. My primary care doc here is knowledgeable about TM and asks me how I am doing in that respect at every visit and has said if I ever want another MRI or want to check on anything, he'd order it or send me to the appropriate specialist. I see my PCP more than once a year anyway -- a little anemic and he wants to keep a close eye on that -- and I see the gyn. once a year for the female stuff, but that's it.   Barbara H.   In a message dated 10/13/2005 5:32:25 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Everyone ,      I haven't seen a neuro doc in years .  I also have not had any MRI's , CT scans , evoked response testing , etc . for years . I see no point in getting these done since my TM is very stable . My PCP orders my baclofen .      About 5 years after my first episode , I had some increase in numbness and tingling  , had IV solumedrol , and an MRI . No changes in my spine , and no brain lesions . The treatments didn't make any difference . At that time the neuro told me it was probably diabetic neuropathy .      Obviously , if I had problems , I'd go to the neuro again ( especially since he has other patients with TM and dx . me by symptoms only , with confirmation by MRI ) .        Cheryl in very rainy Easthampton , Mass .
