Back from Rheumy, ?'s for those with neuro symptoms

[eyeamdry]

I've not had much reason to see a neuro until recently.  I wasn't expecting much from what I read about.  Also, my experience with other doctors, not especially neuros.

My neuro is with a group in the local hospital and is foreign.  I was expecting to be disappointed.  When it turned out that he knew what Sjogrens was...........and knew lots about it.....I was pleasantly surprised.  He didn't diagnose me with anything specifically, but I will see him agaiin.  I'm having more neuro problems as time goes on.  I'm sorry for all who have seen nutty neuros.  I feel lucky.  Lucy

I have been told that plaquenil is not strong enough to address neuro symptoms .

My friend's family: from what I gather, they still treat her like she's made the whole thing up. She also has Rheumatoid Arthritis, with twisted fingers and joint swellings, so you would think it would be obvious that it's not in her head. Sad state of affairs----some people will never admit their cruelty.

Hi Christy
Its not always this difficult to get treatment..perhaps if anything this discussion will make you more proactive in asking questions..sometimes hard to know where the Doc is leaning until you are about to walk out the door..by then I normally just want to get out of his office...yet you need to take as much time as YOU need to feel satisfied with the Docs responses.

Good Luck with your next visit

All my best
