Any resident neurologists? FAO: The Doc

[texasjohn]

Would appreciate some advice if we have any resident neuro-specialists on PH?

The Doc: I know it's not your specialism, but perhaps you have a colleague you might be able to recommend?

What's the problem?

Sorry mate, I don't know any neurologists and really only a very passing knowledge of epilepsy.
Some of my mates are brain surgeons, but even they just refer on their patients if they cause/have epilepsy.

I'll have a look for some resources for you to read.

Sorry again.

John, I have dealings with a couple of neuros. They are relatively local to you too. Drop me a message if you want their details. I can't email anyone from my phone.

Just to update the thread...

I always suspected that my 'funny turn' was due to three nights on the trot with little to no sleep.

My doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me, nor did any of the various outpatient tests I've had during the year. No diagnosis.

I am now nearing the end of my 12 month revocation and can reapply for my licence. Had I surrendered my licence, I could start driving as soon as the application was received at DVLA. As I didn't, it will take around four months now for medical checks and a review of my application - I can only drive once the licence application process is complete. If you become unwell, or it is suspected you have become unwell and you get a questionnaire from DVLA, then SURRENDER YOUR LICENCE at that point because you will be back on the road a lot quicker if you do so!


I hope someone in a similar position benefits from this advice. Please let me know if you do, it will be of great consolation to me!

I think that advice will be well heeded, and I'm glad that this didn't turn out to be anything nasty, although the disruption you have endured has obviously been marked.

William.

Thanks William, and yes I am glad that it turned out that I was not diagnosed with any condition.

Good advice indeed
The dvla have my licence at the mo as i had a bad fall in May, resulting in 2 fractures on the skull and an extradural haematoma. So currently i cannot drive the car, let alone the wagons
When i finally, (hopefully) get the all clear from the consultants my priority is with dvla to get the licence back as i would like to get back working asap.
