That did come off as odd. “Well Ms Monstro, you’re gonna mess this up anyways, so we’ll just skip it”
Could be lupus.
'Cept it’s never lupus …
I don’t know why I read this in slave dialect, but it made me laugh.
FYI, the neurologists that I’ve seen for my migraines have done the same tests. I think part of it is they want to make totally sure that there’s nothing else going on before they start treating migraines, instead of other type of bad headache (cluster, etc.) + something else.
I had kind of the same thing happen to me by a neuro-psychiatrist as part of the stuff I had to do to get my disability for my dementia.
Unfortunately because I had to list this guy as an account on my bankruptcy, in order to change what he wrote, he wants to see me again - which wouldn’t be a problem - my lawyers would pay for the visit. However, because I contacted him about a visit, he wants me to pay the amount I owed before the bankruptcy. Which I cannot afford, else I wouldn’t have had to file in the first place.
I think you’re just going to have to be persistent with him, Monstro. If that gets no results, contact his medical board which is what I am doing.
Best of luck

Slave dialect as in “Well Miss Monstro, yoos lible gonna make a mess of this anyhow, so I reckon wees just gonna take a pass ifn it’s alright wit you.”
Yeah, it is odd if you internally change things to that. You might want to have that checked out. Do you know a neurologist?
My neurologist didn’t give me the Slave Dialect test. I’m thinking that’s more of a psychiatric thing.
I could ask my shrink about it, but I’m afraid that scary diagnosis will pop back up in my medical records!
Actually, if the syphilis test (the basic one, called an RPR) came back positive, it actually COULD be lupus! 
Lupus and some other autoimmune disorders can manifest in false positive RPR tests, as I discovered when I went for my marital blood tests!
Anyway, I came in expecting something else in the OP based on the title, but my wife sort of had the opposite situation. She woke up one morning some 6-7 years ago with her eyes completely crossed and seeing double. I took her to the ER where they did a work-up and came up with a tentative diagnosis of an optic nerve stroke and she was sent to followup with an ophthalmologist. At her second follow-up with said ophthalmologist he brought up her diagnosis of probable multiple sclerosis…which her primary care physician had never brought up!
That was a bad day for her, the eye doctor, and her primary care doctor when she called him from the parking lot to read him the riot act. He stated that because there was no real confirmation of the MS, he didn’t want to unnecessarily worry her. Of course, it did end up being MS (thankfully the visual issues resolved within six months, although she’s progressed further in other ways, mainly manifesting as inability to feel her legs and arms and fatigue). She actually forgave her primary care physician and has a good relationship with him.
