I'm just back from my neuro and not sure what to think. The good news is that the exam was all normal. However, he sent me for an EMG and an MRI scan. I was hoping that he would say that since the neurological exam is ok, then there is no need. It was very hard to get anything out of him and when I asked about MS, he said that the only sure way of ruling it out is to do the MRI, which I already know but was hoping for more info based on my symptoms. He also said that some of my symptoms, like pins and needles in arms and legs would be compatible with MS but he wouldn't think it's high risk. I didn't find it reassuring and got a bit freaked out. He also did all sort of blood tests, for coeliac, vit d, CK and syphillis! The last one really shocked me and no idea why he would do it! Would've asked him but it was all in acronyms and only googled at home.
I won't see him for 4 weeks, so won't know the results till then. Do you think I should be concerned or is just routine standard practice with neuros?
