Hi, Lottie, and welcome. It's very hard to know you have the right neurologist, even after a few meetings. Time will tell. The point is to not 'settle', to not be satisfied if you still have questions. A kind word goes a long way, as does a gently but precisely worded letter. Make sure your questions, long and short term, have been addressed. For that to happen, questions may need to be expressed several times. To that end, you'll be better off if you start informing yourself thoroughly. There's a ton of info and resources online, and there are probably some support groups in your local area, assuming you don't live on a mountaintop. Don't do as I did. I chose denial as my preferred method of tackling my problems, and guess what? It didn't work. The more you know about where you're going, the better you'll be prepared when you get there, and the better you'll be able to preserve and prolong your health along the way. Good luck!

Tho it also makes my future more scary--hearing more details of the disease. Anyone have any tips about choosing the right neurologist?
