I finally had my first appointment with an ataxia specialist at the University of Michigan. I went to the National Ataxia Foundation conference in Las Vegas in 2014 and they suggested strongly that seeing a specialist is the best way to go. Now that I was able to do that I very much agree. This is the third neurologist I've seen and though I was correctly diagnosed to an extent. My first Neurologist told me he was out-of-his-depth, the second was too proud to admit she was also, and now this one has what seems like a plan.
I gave more blood and hopefully these test will yield the answer the doctor needs and we'll have a plan of attack. If they don't have the answer then we'll move on to more tests.
For the time being I'll just have to wait and see. But from where I sit know, I'm very happy that I started seeing a specialist.
