I was referred to neurologist by my gp.I found the appointment a waste of time and have had to ask my gp to get me another appointment where I might get the chance to discuss the symptoms I am suffering.. The consultant constantly said mmm mmm mmm while I was explaining and didn't look a me,then I left with a diagnosis of something that I told him I already suffer sometimes (migraine) and the other frightening symptoms were ignored. Hopefully at the next appointment (when I finally get it)I will feel I am listened to with a degree of compassion or even interest.I am losing weeks off work not to mention my life being on hold as I can't function normally as I need to.. Not a bit helpful,massive let down,and I think the appointment is going to be with the same consultant which doesn't fill me with my much faith or optimism. I have had to go to A&E twice since that last appointment cos I feel so ill,and that's just feeling like a nuisance as it's not the department that can help and they are busy.
