Hi,
It's completely understandable that you may have felt uncomfortable during your visit with the neurologist. It's important to remember that as a patient, you have the right to feel comfortable and safe during any medical examination or treatment.
Regarding the question about losing your bladder, it's important to be honest with your healthcare provider so they can properly assess and diagnose any issues you may be experiencing. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering a question, it's perfectly fine to respectfully decline to answer or ask for more information about why the question is being asked.
Moving forward, it's important to communicate openly and honestly with your healthcare provider about your symptoms and concerns. Your neurologist can work with you to develop a treatment plan that can help address your muscle weakness, fatigue, and difficulty walking.
If you're still feeling nervous about the situation, you can consider reaching out to the neurologist's office or your primary care physician to discuss your concerns and any next steps that need to be taken. Remember, your health and wellbeing are important, and it's important to prioritize your own comfort and safety during medical appointments.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
