oldradioguy: I am still waiting for the UND-NIH to reopen their studies program before I am able to have an evaluation. Unfortunately for me - and the rest of the people "waiting in line" - this could take several months to a year. Mayo Clinic's neurology department has put me "on hold" for any further evaluation - even a televisit. I have since moved on to seek a virtual 2nd opinion at the Cleveland Clinic Nuerology Department. They have reviewed my medical records, including the past two years at Mayo, and have recommended I have a MRI done here locally to compare to the last one at Mayo (done 11 months ago). We are set up for a Zoom appointment to discuss the findings of this MRI (done this past week) and plan out possble options moving forward. I will keep you posted as to the outcome. In the meantime, good luck with your current situation.
