[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 115599"] Well, my neurologist fellowed at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, so I thought that was pretty good. Lisa - My regular doctor was worried about stroke which is why she ordered the MRI and scheduled me with a neurologist. However, the eye issues, balance issues and nerve issues have been a coming and going thing for a few years. If they were constant, I'd be inclined to be more suspicious of stroke. They are worse with fatigue and pain - same as my cognitive issues - but some days they are not even there. Because of my increased risk of stroke now, they have scheduled an ultrasound of the carotid arteries. That's scheduled for 1/30. I'm seeing my regular doctor Monday for a urinalysis. The frequency and urgency has increased and I want to rule out a bladder infection since I have a history of kidney infections. I don't think it's a bladder infection - it doesn't feel like one really - I think it's another symptom, but I want to make sure. I'm going to talk to her about my concerns, lay everything out more clearly (complete that report like susiestar suggested) and see what she has to say. I'm just tired of it. The tingling/numbness in my fingers had been getting better, but last night I could have driven a nail through my fingers and wouldn't have felt it. Then today, a lot of pain in my neck and back again, which of course causes headaches and a very crabby Mom. Sigh. Just frustrated. [/QUOTE]
