Update
Well I have had my first visit with my new neurologist. I had to change doctors because my former neurologist had to leave her practice to tend to her ailing father.
I was afraid that the new doctor would put me through a new battery of tests but she was able to use my records from the former doctor and has kept me on my current medications. That's good. I had no wish to go through two more MRI"s (6 months apart) or a nuclear cisternogram. ( which a test where they remove some spinal fluid from your spine and inject some dye into the spine and have you return 3 straight days to take some sort of picture to track the progress of the dye.This helps determine whether or not you have normal pressure hydrocephalus. This test is not as bad as I thought it might be but still it's not much fun )
At least she accepted all the prior tests. I was afraid I might have to repeat them so that's a load off my mind.
Other than that, nothing much is going on.
Be well,
Tom
