question: I was recently diagnosed with Lupus, I am a healthy 38 year old female otherwise. I saw a neurologist and he said I was in good shape. Gave me a basic evaluation and said no further testing was necessary. However, since seeing I saw him, I have been experiencing blurry vision, headache, and daily numbness. Once my entire body was paralyzed for three hours. I went to physical therapy to achieve movement and saw my rheumatologist. He was concerned and requested that my neurologist prescribe an MRI of the brain. I spoke to my neurologist and he refused. He stated that I was fine when I saw him. Now I have another appointment with another neurologist but why would he do that if my symptoms may warrant an MRI?
