I'm sorry to hear that you've been in hospital for a week or so @Sparklebright63. Have you been coping okay?
Although I'm sure a new diagnosis must be difficult to deal with, do you feel better for knowing what's been causing the numbness?
It sounds as though there are quite a few treatment options available to you, which is good Are you feeling positive about your appointment with the neurologist on the 18th?0 -
Hi Tori Scope,
I am hopefully going to get some answers on the 18th i have another MRI on the 7th of August in Sheffield so will see what they Say after that one.
What i dont understand is why its taken the Nhs so long to try to find out where all my problems are comming from and what else i need to do about them.
I have had all these issues for 25 years thats like a quater of my life to be in so much Pain ect its not good enough......
I will let you know when i have more answers.
I have to go to the Respiratory Clinic in the Morning.

Just recieved confirmation of appointment with a neurosurgeon,about my MRI scans, a few weeks ago,and it will be a "phone appointment " in a years time,in 2022!
How can a neurosurgeon treat anybody on a phone call!0 -
Sorry to hear that @gaz1960 - & it seems like a dreadfully long wait to get results. The neurosurgeon surely could look at your MRI scans & discuss them with you quicker than this, or write.My son & I have yearly echocardiograms (which was delayed because of the pandemic). Normally we see the Consultant cardiologist the same day, but had been told beforehand that he would check them, & we'd either have a phone appointment or he would write to us. We both got a letter a couple of weeks later.0
