Default neuro appointment

Hi Mark and Fireyangel
Still a bit shellshocked despite all the research I did up front.
It's cord compression and he mentioned myelopathy. I asked about ADR and he said it's too far gone for that. He said he's writing to my GP.
Apparently the money doesn't follow the patient in the NHS like it's supposed to he said - hence the wait but I will see what my GP has to say about it all.
At least there was no umming and ahhing from this guy like the neurologist, he straightaway said my symptoms were caused by the cord compression and said my reflexes were "jumping" in my arms and legs.
He also said they would do the pudendal nerve tests.
Will be in touch again when I know more.
Thankyou for your support and yes I will look forward to being able to walk round the shops afterwards Betsy!!
Regards
Lynette
