[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 114674"] The neurologist said I have some shrinkage (is that even a word) in the balance portion of my brain, though not sure why. He ordered blood work and checked Vitamin E and B-12 because I guess deficiencies in those can cause it. He did say I did good on the overall neurological examination and balance testing, even though I fell over 3 times doing the heel to toe walking. Didn't do so well on the memory portion. I had to recall 3 words and I only got one. He agrees with my regular doctor that I have some connective tissue disorders going on that's probably causing most of my problems. He said if that all comes back normal (when I see the rheumatologist), he'll be scratching his head. In the meantime, he scheduled an EEG, an EMG (nerve conduction test), carotid artery ultrasound and a neuropsychologist evaluation. I didn't tell him that I almost missed the road then got confused and went in the out section. Fortunately no cars were coming. [img]:bag:[/img] [/QUOTE]
