@pb50 Thank you for sharing the conversation you had with your primary care provider this morning. And of course he had to add the usual eat healthy, get exercise and plenty of sleep. So you will see the neurologist at Duke on Wednesday. Sounds like a good plan and I'm hoping you'll get a referral to neuropsych. Will you please let me know what happens at your Wednesday appointment?

So I had a very positive meeting with the Neurologist this afternoon. He has ordered a lot of labs - they took six vials - and a brain MRI w/out contrast. The labs are different vitamin levels and such. See pic I attached. We will see if Medicare will allow but I will find a facility with a decent cash price if need be. He has also ordered neuropsychological testing.

He wants me to change to a Mediterranean diet and exercise more. I told him I would look for a chef or a Frozen entree that fits the bill but I don’t really cook. 🙄

The MRI and neuropsych testing will be the interesting things. He gave me the silly Alzheimer’s test and I couldn’t remember one item on the list they want you to remember. I think I did ok on the rest.

It’s a start.
