That’s the same reason I did it, only I didn’t receive a definitive answer. For a “gold standard,” it has such a high margin for missing cases. So I can still see why someone wouldn’t want to do it for that reason. But I am glad you could see something concrete. All my conditions but one are clinical diagnoses—no objective data can capture it =(

That was the first positive result I had in six years. I still remember where I was when I got the call, and how I felt. Maybe your day is coming. I had biopsies on both legs, at the ankle, knee and thigh. Only the ankle was abnormal then, but my neurologist confirmed my suspicions that at least the knee would also be abnormal now as it progresses.
