I'm dizzy and slur my words but I still can't get a diagnosis.

I HAVE been suffering from dizziness — sometimes extreme — and blurry vision. I also find I'm slurring my words. The GP ordered blood tests last year but I have heard nothing more since. Having done my own research I think I have ataxia, which seems to be getting worse by the day. What do I need to do to get an official diagnosis? ATAXIA is the name for a range of serious brain conditions affecting balance, speech and co-ordination. It can be a long process to get a diagnosis with a neurologist, who will need to undertake many tests, including MRI scans. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
