I saw a different neuro today for the first time, as my other one moved his practice out of the area. I get a checkup every 6 months. This guy seems pretty good. He has all of my records as the doc I saw previously was his associate.
He did a very thorough neuro exam and discussed the course of my TM since onset 12/96. He was quite surprised that I have never had a brain MRI, so I'm going to finally have one. He mentioned the possibility of MS, so we will see. He seemed somewhat concerned about my cognitive problems, memory etc. Also, he wants me to go to a rehab program to learn about some exercises that may help with bowel control. In addition, he wants me to start on 10mg of Baclofen 2 or 3 times a day. I forget which!!!!! Guess I'll find out when I pick it up!!!! I've never taken it before. Any side effects I should be aware of? My daughter, who is a nurse, went with me. She was quite impressed with his thoroughness. My visit with him was a little over 45 minutes. I go back to see him Dec. 21. I feel very comfortable with him. Mary W Grass Valley Ca
