I can not work because of neurological defects. Doctors do not know what is wron!


Question:

I can not work because of neurological defects. Doctors do not know what is wrong. What should I do?

Doctors have ran exhausting testing. I mean a bunch. 4 physicians involved. My insurance is due to expire in 4 days and I obviously do not have money, because I can not work? I am VERY frustrated, a little angry. Any brilliant Ideas... I am really at the end of my rope so to speak, this has been so taxing on me.

I suffer from memory loss, vertigo, and persistent intense head aches. I tire very easily. My ears are fine, MRI shows nothing clinically significant. The Neurologist seem to have given up, so I am going back to my regular doctor today.


Answers:

Ron have you had a Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap) or Evoked potential tests? To at least rule OUT something like MS. My neurological issues started in 2005 with drs telling me nothing but to go to work (not taking into account that it was the issues preventing me from working!)- they thought it was all in my mind, until I had an MRI that showed lesions. Please, if you can, sign up for medicaid if you have to, and try with one more dr. Ask for evoked potentials or even a spinal tap. I know that no one asks for spinal taps, but you really need a GOOD neurologist who will take your complaints seriously, and do all they can to help you, not just throw their hands up in frustration.
