Thanks Jim. I live in the Seattle area and am a Kaiser patient. Used to be Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound. My family and myself have wanted me to go to Mayo for years. My daughter used to live in Rochester and has some connections w/ some doctors. Today I did a little research on Benzodiazapines and they do work for nerve pain. I have several types of neuropathy. I do believe I have autonomic by definition. So do you receive your care at Mayo? Any idea the cost to have a work-up w/ Neurology? I have a zillion specialists. I don't know what they'd do with me LOL! I tell my docs that I'm going to be their worst nightmare but not to worry,m they'll grow to love me! I have always been disturbed to my core about any suffereing. I mean I lose sleep. For way too many years to count. I know God has His purpose in everything and can see from beginning to end. I just have to pray, then give it to the Lord or it will eat me up. Many blessings, Sunny
