Need a Dr, but Don't Know What Kind?

I would think you would want a pathologist. But I wanted to mention that while I was in high school a boy I knew contracted meningitis as well, I believe bacterial, and when he was finally back, his personality had changed drastically. People said he was a different person and we were told it was a result of the meningitis. I know this may not be what you want to hear but I at least wanted you to know that it may not be abnormal for something like that to happen. Good Luck to you both and I hope he makes a full recovery.

probably a nuerologist. good luck hon sounds like you have a long road ahead of you.

First thing, he needs to see infectious specialist, they take blood tests for infections in brain and body. then he needs to see neurologist they do cat scan on brain, brain wave,etc.. see if any damage brain.

good luck

He'd be helped by seeing a neurologist who specializes in holistic therapies and orthomolecular medicine to help people recover from neuroligical illnesses and injuries. That type of enlightened doctor is rare but can be located. One of the best in the country is located in Naples, FL, - Dr. Perlmutter.

You could try a neurologist. I'm sure he had one following him when he got diagnosed, so try to stay with the same one if you can. Good luck!

Probably a neurologist.

Neurologists deal with such things. Since his 'symptoms' are related to anxiety and such, I would stongly suggest you see a neuro-psychologist. They have medical experience and can easily read CT scans, MRIs, etc. They will be better at noticing subtle differences that might explain the personality changes. If you are in Orlando or Tampa I could recommend people as I used to work in the field of neuro rehab and have worked with many of these types of doctors. Send me a message if you need a suggestion.

B.,

It sounds like you husband really needs to see a neurologist. I recommend Rosanna Garner in South Tampa. ###-###-####.

Depending on the findings you may want to also see an acupuncturist. I recommend Dr. Xiao Zhang on Virginia Ave (Near St. Joes)- ###-###-#### www.tbac.net. She is an acupuncturist trained in China & an MD her in the US (most trained in china are only MDs in China)

Good luck & keep us posted.

a neurologist would be your best bet.

Hi B. sorry to hear about your husband, have you been to a neurologist, Im pretty sure they deal with the brain and other things as well, good luck and god bless.

It seems like you would have to have him see an Infectious Disease doctor or a neurologist. Please keep us posted on his progress.

You might want to start w/ a neurologist or neuropsychologist. Best of luck!

You should probably see a neurologist - call and talk to them first and tell them what is happening to see if they feel he needs to be seen.
