    The problem I'm left with is an unclear diagnose. Clinical picture of, but no confirmation by EMG.
    I was offered Gabapentin and when I turned that down, the neurologist looked at me as if had refused the lottery price.

    ME was in the referral letter(against my explicit wish) I mentioned brainfog stopping me from studying in my final year and having to take a job as a telefonist.
    A neurologist looking straight at me, me looking straight back, with an internal dialogue going on: Could it be right? I've been taught that. She looks serious though. Shortcircuit. Back to feet and legs. No verbal reaction at all.
    A neurologist that I have to rely on to prescribe medication without any knowlegde of ME/CFS and my really bad brainfog.
    I can't afford to lose more concentration and memory and to put on weight.
    I phoned my GP'office to be put on low dose ropinirol again, I had gotten that through his office earlier, but now I had to go straight back to the neurologist for that.
