@buttons I’m waiting for a referral to a neurosurgeon, having tested positive for dermatomyositis. Do you mind sharing - how long did it take til you were back up and around? We are still waiting for the genetic testing to come back, and that takes about a month, which puts us into November. I’m worried that if we do the biopsy too close to the holidays I won’t be in good shape for when my kids come home from school, and I don’t get to see my youngest often. Just hoping to get some idea of what to expect as far as recovery. Thank you in advance! Pauline
