After a terrible three months trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with me, my doctor sent me to see Dr Tullio. After assessing me for one hour this fantastic Doctor admitted me to hospital immediately. Within one day (I got my MRI) he diagnosed my problem and I couldn't believe I had a spinal cord lesion. He performed a bunch of tests after the MRI as well. It turned out to be something called transverse myelitis initially. With further treatment I got better with steroids. Not leaving a stone unturned he ended diagnosing me with neurosarcoid. What the heck??? And to my amazement, not many neurologists deal with this. They often refer to other specialists. Thank God Dr Tullio follows and treats patients for Neurosarcoidosis and with some other medication I'm doing better. This is a tough and rare disease. But I'm positive. Dr Tullio always congratulates me on my progress and well being. I'm lucky to have met him. Especially after meeting some others with sarcoidosis I realize how lucky I am to be doing so well. If you need some answers get you family MD to refer you. One problem......his wait list is very long. I guess that's what happens when you're a great Doctor.
