Had an MRI done and it came back normal, however my Rheummy thinks I should see a Nerurologist because of my memory problems and light sensitivity.....I used to have brain fog but it has progressed where sometimes my mind just is a blank....has anyone seen a Neurologist for these issues? What was your outcome? I do have cronic headaches and numbness but I thought that all adds up to Sjogrens......
Glad to hear your MRI came back normal. If you see a neurologist, he/she may request you have neuropsychological testing for basic cognitive function, including memory. It takes several hours of one on one testing. It would probably be a good idea if just to get a baseline (a bit late now, I know) so that if things continue to get worse, the doctor can see and document these changes.
Here's Wiki's link to this testing:

My memory continues to worsen but sadly, there is not much offered to help reverse this. There are now programs to stimulate brain function (Lumosity for one). I have not use them yet, but it certainly can't seem to hurt.
