@arcuri24 Hi Laura - No doubt, getting a second opinion is a personal decision and will insurance cover the costs. I did get an opinion at Johns Hopkings in Maryland and another opinion at Mayo in early 2020. The diagnosis from both were a match, idiopathic axonal sensory motor. I felt the second opinion was needed to put my mind at ease. At that point, I was able to close the chapter on what I have. Of course, the jury is still out on the why. Nonetheless, at that point, I decided after a second opinion it was time to learn all I could about my PN and how to best live with it. And this site this site has been a tremendous help from our mentors and those suffering with PN. Ed
