Yes, he has had PN diagnosis for 15 years or more...vague symptoms at first. No Family genetics. Was also misdiagnosed with ALS in 1995 by an MD. That was an awful journey through Christmas season. He also was for many months in the very heart of Agent Orange as part of his history in Vietnam... this past week , we got result from UF in Gainesville that had sent blood samples to St. Louis Mo.,.Washington Univ... and results came back IgG vs FGFR3 9000 <3000... We need help with any information anyone can provide for us. We live in Palm City Florida. Thank you all in advance for any help that you can provide.
