First neurology appointment felt rushed

Hi, just wondering what everyone's experience was with their first neurology appointment. My doctor referred me after I had symptoms around the beginning of April. I saw the neurologist yesterday and it felt rushed as he was running behind on time. Felt I struggled to get a chance to explain everything. Although he has agreed I need an mri scan. Which I'm now having on Monday. Thanks for an replies x

I know the feeling! It's really positive that you are getting an MRI and that should give some more clarity. During my first 3 years of symptoms I went to the doctor's a lot only to be told I might be hyperventilating but nothing was diagnosed. Very frustrating! It is difficult to explain yourself and your symptoms, I have found the posts on here very helpful as some of the ways people articulate their symptoms are very effective! You'll have time and future appointments.

Thank you Holly. I wondered if it was common for the appointment to feel that way. Hopefully after mri I might be close to some answers regarding all these symptoms.
