Pam, What is the difference between a neuro, and a neurologist? I thought neuro was short for neurologist. The only issues that I have had that need attending to, are a lingering side affects of TM. Either my primary care physician or my physical medicine and rehab doctor takes care of these issues. My physical condition, basically, hasn't changed much since the onset. After my plasmapheresis, I gained a little movement in my left leg and arm. The right side is still totally paralyzed. In the earlier stage of my illness while in rehab, I was up on a platform walker, walking nearly 400 feet. Since being in the nursing facility and in another hospital to have my baclofen pump put in, my condition has deteriorated. I am barely able to stand and pivot to get in my wheelchair. Even after all of this, I still haven't seen the need for a neurologist, unless he's going to give me some much-needed physical therapy. Naomi C-4 quad, incomplete since July 2, 2005
