My person saw a neurologist after the cancer spread to her brain. Basically it was looking at mri/brain scans and they would look at her eyes and check her reflexes and ability to push and pull.

I saw in another thread you are concerned about balance issues. My guess is via telehealth, you'll be asked questions about your symptoms. The doctor might have you stand and do some balance assessments, but that's about all I am guessing that can be done via telehealth. Might order some testing, but I wouldn't expect much more from an initial telehealth neurology appointment. If he/she orders any testing, it will only be after that you will get any real possibility of diagnosis. You are on psych meds, and unfortunately balance issues are sometimes just part of the side effects. Hope this appointment heads you toward some answers or at least some ideas to help you.

I saw a neurologist last year for memory problems. The first appointment was like an intake. Then he prescribed me a memory test amd a eeg. After that, I was referred to their sleep doctor and they found out I have horrible sleep apnea. They're hoping being on the cpap will help with memory.

Well it is not Parkinson’s. But they say my cluster of symptoms fall under parkinism and it is drug induced so I have to get of most of my meds.
