I was sent to the er at first by my doctor. That was where I was seen by the original neurologist and they did some tests on me. It showed that I had carpal tunnel syndrome. It also showed that I had low reflex’s in my ankles knees and elbow’s. I am on an urgent waiting list for the next neurologist. A one year wait list!
Canadian health care is not the same as US healthcare. Believe me.

There is no perfect system for healthcare. We have problems with the US system. Believe me.
The only thing that is the same is that we all have problems. They may be different problems but they are still problems.

@marie709 I am also in Canada (BC) and I have to say I got excellent care.
I went to my GP initially and she suspected pmr right away. Got referred to to a rheumatologist and saw him within 2 weeks and was prescribed prednisone that day.
