Existing Patient Appointment Making

Colleen,
I much appreciate your and Laurie's input. I am cautious as I know my neurologist is frankly brilliant and don't want to create waves or tagged a "problem". The suggestion for 2 CT scans are infact from my doctor at Mayo. S/He is the only one I am seeing with hopes of resolving this ongoing health issue. I was informed my former messages had been read by doc and s/he suggested 2 CT scans. Meanwhile symptoms have changed, some better some worse, and I haven't spoken with doctor since starting med. My course of medication was for 5 weeks which ends mid July. Just have so many questions and decision to have scans is dependent on answers to some of those. I will give thought to contacting the Patient Experience folks to gain an understanding on how best to work with my Team there and manage my expecctations. Thank you.

@fitnhealthy, I understand your concern of being labelled as a problem. I think @naturegirl5 had a similar concern and may be able to share more.
The CT scans were ordered because of the changing symptoms. The medication was prescribed by your Mayo doctor and s/he is aware of both the prescription ending mid-July and the change in symptoms. Have I got that right?
It sounds like things are moving in the right direction. Sometimes things don't happen in the order that we expect them or in the timeline we would like. You said it well about getting a better understand of how to work with your Team and managing expectations.
