    Best of all, he explained that it is very unlikely the diagnosis priorly provided by another neurologist was very accurate. Recommended further testing to establish a more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Furhtermore, he sugested to coplete further testing near our city of residency to avoid the long distance trips.
