    How long does a referral take?

    As above, If you get referred to a Neurologist how long do you have to wait to see one?

    It took approx two months for my referral, when I saw mine he had the letter from my doctor and asked me to tell him in my own words whats been happening, he checked my reflexes, did a few balance tests like walking heal to toe in a straight line, following his finger with my eyes test, sorry cant remember the other tests he did.

    An EMG is where they stick needles in your body to test the muscles.
