After a lengthy discussion my parents and I have agreed that going with mayo is the best move. However, with their current availability and my ability of getting there, the earliest possible appointment is looking like 6 weeks away. In the meantime... my parents have kindly agreed that I can get some private consultations nearby. My gut is telling me that it is more than likely parry romberg; where it is fairly tricky to diagnose. What specialist would be best: Rhumatologist, neurologist, dermatologist or something else? I think it is in my best interest to gather as much information as possible. That way when I get to mayo they'll have a better understanding of what's happening.
