Hi,For the past couple of months I have been having periodic confusion/disorientation. I visited two internists who ran the usual blood tests which were ok. I also have occasional stiffness in the back of my neck, part of my back. I saw a neurologist who did an Xray on my cervical spine. The xray was OK. I sometimes have funny feelings in the top of my hands and forearms, and top of feet. The doctors didn t know what other tests to run. I guess my symptoms would be something like meningitis but I don t have all of the symptoms, based on what I read online and I guess the doctors I saw did not see a reason to run tests for this. Would you have any ideas as to what I could do further? MRI? Catscan?
Hello and thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Your condition seems to be not related to meningitis, but confusion and disorientation should be evaluated further. As an appropriate test in this case, a brain MRI should help understand better possible causes of your concerns. These may be encephalitis, brain atrophy etc. Hope you found the answer helpful. Take care.
