Important to get a: neurology referral, and a second opinion from an integrative medicine doctor. Also make sure to have your basic labs drawn, to see if your vitamin D3 levels and other micro nutrients are adequate. A great intracellular panel is the SpectraCell panel to evaluate how much of your nutrition is being absorbed intracellularly, as well as to looking at your cellular membrane profile. It's a great start!
