Suggest Treatment For Adult Onset Dystonia

I suffer from Adult Onset Dystonia. Recently I had been examined by my Neurologist for recertification of My NYC parking permit for persons with disabilities. I was wondering what AFC meant? My Doctor wrote, AFC easy. I apologize, but I live on disability and a pension and it is the end of the month. I cant afford to pay anything today, but I need to send the documentation off ASAP and after the 1st of the month would be too late. However, I really would like to know what something means before I send it out. Can anybody help? I know Im asking for a lot, but I really cant wait until after the 1st and I cant afford to pay anything today, unless you can bill Medicare of Healthnet (Tricare)

Neurologist, Dr. Sudhir Kumar's Response

Hi,

Short forms can be crazy and often confusing. There is no specific medical term or condition, with an abbreviation AFC. So, in all likelihood, your doctor meant - A Followup Case (AFC) of dystonia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar,
Neurologist
