First visit with neurologist.

Hello all! Thank you for taking a moment to read my post. I decided to register for this group as a way to find specific answers and not spend my free time caught up in “google” searches.

I have been a bit concerned about some symptoms for the past 6 or 7 months, and after speaking with a neurologist have finally made an appointment to be assessed.

What I can say is that I feel almost 90% better when following a solid vegan diet with vigorous exercise and meditation. Almost immediately upon consuming something like pizza or a processed food, I am miserable.

Questions are:

1) If I simply eat well and exercise, do I even need to see a doctor?

2) The symptoms are transient, I prefer to eat well and not visit physicians with symptoms – does anyone think I should eat poorly so the physician is more likely to notice symptoms?

3) Will the physician need to know all symptoms through time, or just current issues?

I know that sounded rather silly, but I hate going to doctors – and really do not want to be looked at like I am simply experiencing some form of “anxiety”.

Have a wonderful day and thanks again for reading!

I too hate doctors & hate the bills that come along with going to see them. My only advice is don't ignore your body. I was having muscle spasms a few months ago and started on some vitamins. The spasms went away so I thought see no big deal. Then a few weeks ago I developed double vision. I went to the doctor & was sent for an MRI. The double vision went away & was replaced by dibilitating dizziness. Then 2 weeks ago today I had my first appointment with the neurologis. It is MS and I have a large number of leasons in my brain. I wish I would have gone sooner. So my adivice is if you think you need to go to the doctor you probably. should.
