Caroline D. Rae is a neurologist based at Barker St, Randwick, NSW 2031, Australia. She works in the neurology space, which is all about the brain, nerves and the way messages move around the body.
In day to day practice, Caroline looks after people with a range of long-term neurological conditions. This can include multiple sclerosis (MS), dementia, and different kinds of nerve pain. At times, care also covers conditions that affect movement, sleep, and nerve signals, like restless legs syndrome and obstructive sleep apnoea.
Caroline also supports patients dealing with complex pain. This may include chronic pain and neuralgia, as well as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). These problems can be hard to live with. Pain can flare up, and symptoms can change over time, so management often needs patience and steady follow-up.
Some patients need help with conditions linked to HIV/AIDS, including HIV/AIDS itself and AIDS dementia complex. Neurological issues can show up in different ways, and it can take careful checks to understand what’s going on and what might help.
There are also rarer neurological conditions that may come up in consultation, such as Canavan disease and leukodystrophy. These are uncommon conditions, and the focus is usually on clear explanations, practical next steps, and keeping care aligned with what the person and their family need most.
Caroline’s work brings together diagnosis and ongoing care, especially when symptoms are complex. Neurology isn’t always one neat problem with one quick fix. In many cases, it’s about sorting out the cause, tracking changes, and making sure treatment fits the person’s day to day life.
If you’re coming in with ongoing symptoms like memory changes, numbness or tingling, ongoing headaches or nerve pain, or sleep-related concerns, Caroline can help guide the process. The aim is to make things easier to understand, and to support safer, more informed decisions about next steps.
