Hi Rachel, thanks for your concern and the good info. Where on your body was the Bx, and can you tell me what the path report said? Thanks so much, Sunnyflower

Hi @sunnyflower! My biopsy was a tiny scoop of skin and tissue taken from the back of my left thigh and from the back of my right calf. I was numbed first with a small needle. Minimal bleeding, covered with bandage and out the door. I'd say 15 minutes total in the office. The spots were tender for a few days and scabbed over. I never received my path report but, will be obtaining it, this Friday when I meet with my neurologist. Hope this info helps you! Have a pleasant rest of your day.
Rachel
