Neurologist,  's  Response
A neurologist is a reasonable choice of specialist to look into your ongoing weakness which has not improved in 6 months. It may have been beneficial for you to have been seen by a neurologist before being diagnosed with CFS since this is a diagnosis of EXCLUSION meaning that all other possible causes for weakness or gait difficulties could not be explained better by any other diagnosis.
