Hi all. Just a question which I hope someone can answer.
A friend recently saw a neurologist (referred by GP). The consultation appears to have been just a general conversation, no pen/paper questions.
My friend has now been referred for a scan (I don't know what sort of scan) to investigate vascular changes/damage.
Is this usual?
I thought the Addenbrookes test was usually given, or should I assume the neurologist could see enough problems without this?
This friend has short term memory problems, serious loss of appetite, apathy and suffers frequent TIAs but otherwise manages day to day life OK with unacknowledged support from her OH.
