Small Nerve Fiber Neuropathy (Idiopathic) EYE ISSUES

@jenniferhunter I was thinking about Mayo Rochester. I won't fly right now due to airport issues. Too many things with that. I can drive it. It's 1176 miles from my house to Mayo. I can do most of it in one day. I drove to Michigan once in the lower part of the state and made it before dark. I am not hardly having any pain issues though. Just intermittent pains in my head that come and go. I had pain across my upper back once. I did have some pain coming down my left arm once. The thing that is really bothersome is what is going on with the feelings around my eyes. It is not in my eyes. My blood pressure goes up because of it. I am gonna get my stuff together and see what I can do. Thank you for your support I really appreciate it. I am just appalled by the things I am hearing and seeing in the medical field. I will let you know what happens. @rnlorena

@rnlorena You may use this link to request an appointment for any Mayo campus. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
When they call you back, at that time, you may request your imaging and records be sent to Dr. Fogelson. Make sure to write a letter about symptoms, but leave out a lot of your dissatisfaction. Just saying that your doctors can't figure it out is enough, and with a history of records, they will understand that you are not being helped. Keep it simple and to the point so you don't bury the important details. When you get into Mayo, the doctor that accepts you is like a quarterback, and will refer you to other departments and specialists as needed to understand all the issues. It's also possible you would be referred to another spine specialist by Dr. Fogelson if that is in your best interest. There may be a long wait to see him as he is much in demand for deformity surgery and he goes to spine conferences. That is a long drive. I hope you can bring someone with you or break that into a few days for travel.
