[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 304675, member: 393"] [SIZE=4][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Okay, Susie, this is just plain wrong. Jess needs a complete neuro exam, likely with MRI. Saying that, I have had 2 exceptional neuro docs (one from Mayo Clinic) tell me that the more that is known about the brain there is that much more to know. If he filled an exam room with what is known it would take up maybe one square ft of knowledge. That same neuro told me that there are times that an EEG is only useful while the patient is having episodes. AND there are times that the episode is buried so deep in the brain an EEG is useless. A good neuro doctor is going to treat the symptoms while continuing to look for answers. My current neuro frequently thanks me for being so patient with process & that he'd rather give me an unknown reason for continuing symptoms than something that is so wrong that nothing is being treated. (On my part we're dealing with the brain injury plus something more - that something more is making him nuts.) He shared with me that it takes years to become a good doctor - years of practice & listening to the patient. He feels that he isn't a "good doctor" yet as he has years more of practicing. I'm off my bandwagon. Please get a complete physical with all the CBC blood work, look for anything insect related, blood sugars, etc. A good neuro work up is necessary. A publically funded facility cannot turn you away (i.e. hospital) & if that's the way you need to go, do it. Jess (herself) may qualify for some kind of assistance. Good luck - my thoughts are going out to you & Jess. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
