       Annual neuro appointment
       By: agate Date: September 3, 2025, 12:40 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I usually reschedule any appointment if the weather is apt to be
       over 90' but this time I took my chances. The annual appointment
       with my neuro had already been rescheduled once. It was to have
       been in March, and when I postponed it, the next available time
       was in September.
       I was relying on air conditioning to be working
       everywhere--paratransit vans, lobbies where I would need to
       wait, and the doctor's office. I was lucky and had very little
       time out in the oppressive heat.
       She and I had a pleasant talk, and I told her about my fall in
       June. She did a few brief reflex tests and
       strength-against-resistance tests, the usual finger-to-nose
       test, and that was all.
       Then I was on my way, after setting up another appointment in
       September 2026.
       She is my idea of an excellent neurologist. If I had a more
       complicated case of MS, I would probably feel differently. I
       would want someone who specializes in MS. But this one always
       leaves the way open for me to decide. It's as if she realizes
       that even with her neurological training and experience, she
       doesn't know as much about my MS as I do. She knows a lot about
       MS in general but it's probably true that if you've seen one
       case of MS, you've seen one case of MS. If you try and
       generalize about it, you're on shaky ground.
