No real news from the Neurologist. More tests. He’s ordered three neuro tests and suggested a spinal tap. I’ve scheduled the neuro tests, but refused the spinal tap. The idea of them inserting a needle into my spine, when I’m already having neurological problems just doesn’t’ sit well with me. The risks seem to great compared to the possible benefits.…
