Well, I got most of the information out either verbally or on the patient information sheet. I inserted some of the missing pieces during the exam. I had been to this Neuro Dr. for migraines years ago. My mother went to him for Alzheimers. He remembered me, even though it has been awhile 3+ years. Anyway, I did some of the physical tests that I have read about. No babinski though. I was very shaky today - whole body- the waiting room was hot and I seem to get more shaky when I overheat. Usually I have the tremor in my left arm under cooler circumstances. He also did some electrical tests on my foot, calf, and thigh. He said there was some slowing but he wasn't hugely impressed. I think! He also did that stick a needle in the leg muscle and send AC through it for some readings. I told him about the cardiac pain incident from 2 years ago that send me to the ER and an overnight stay in the heart center with all sorts of tests including a nuclear stress test. No heart problems showed up, but they couldn't explain the chest pain. After reading different sites I am thinking that this could have been what others call an MS hug. By the way I never used the words MS at the appt. today. He did send me for 6 or seven blood tests, asked my GP medical records and wants to see me in 2 weeks. I was hoping to go straight to the MRI, but I understand that dx doesn't usually happen in quick manner. I did notice on the blood testing scrip the coding for intential tremor and peripheral neuropothy. (I looked it up on my phone.) Is that what the Dr. seems to think at this point according to the evidence he has or is this his prediction as to what might be wrong? Sorry this is soooooo long. Thank you again for your input. I have no family where I live, but I do have a couple of good friends. I am feeling like I need the support where ever I can get it. T
