    There is no need to worry about seeing a neuroligist your gp is unable to diagnose you he probably should have refer you before now have you had your vitamin levels checked.

    good luck with neuro

    Fester is right, you will find relief if you get a diagnosis. MS isn't nice no but with help you can manage it. Take someone with you and write down beforehand what you've been going through, all your symptoms you'll forget if not and you don't get much time with then. Goid Luck cone back and let us know. 💮

      Vertigo is common with MS and heat usnt good either. I have a cold pillow and others things that go in the freezer or fridge. Fester is right about stress too, consider hypnotherapy or relaxation 🌹

      Hi Fester, yrs I too got very ill waiting for PIP assessment and I've got ms and arthritis and severe Anxiety and depression so I lost my mobility PIP despite walking with crutches in pain and legs giving out, I also have a wheelchair. I didn't go for appeal because if the anxiety and the fact it takes too long to get an appointment with dr or specialist.y neuro appt has been cancelled and rebooked for February😞 that'll be nearly two years waiting. I acknowledge your pain and stress re PIP its do unfair. Kindest regards.💮💮

      Thank you, I may do that. I think this government has made life unbearable for sick, disabled and poor. They did not take into consideration pain or safety.

    Check b1, b6, b12. B1 and b12 being low and b6 being high can cause problems.
