I saw my PCP yesterday and asked him to refer me to a neurologist for the test. He said it is not really necessary. The rheumatologist said I have fibromyalgia, based on pain all over my body. Then the PCP agreed with that diagnosis, but when I told him about my icy feet and pain going up my legs, he said that is definitely neuropathy. So, no referral, but only symptomatic diagnoses. My insurance is a Medicare PPO which previously did not need a referral but the last two specialists seemed to need my PCP's referral. (United Health Care AARP Medicare) Bottom line: the Primary doctor said that there is no cure so they just follow the pain and try to deal with it. If you were me, would you want to get biopsy or just let it ride? Thanks.

Hi John, could you please explain about changing the title? I still have so much to learn about this system!!!!! I don't see where the title is? How do I find subjects such as medications? I receive so many emails daily but they are random subjects and people and different things. I'm so confused! Thanks so much, Sunnyflower PS: I"m finally using my tablet which shows a lot more options available to me on the blog but I need a tutorial! LOL! Thanks, Sunnyflower
