I have a new doctor lined up, but wow, 3 months to get in and then all the medical records transfers from hospitals, placed I’ve lived etc. But I don’t want to give up on any possible remedy yet, so I’m going through with it because my current doctor won’t talk, give suggestions, coach, or present any ideas. I had to beg for a nerve biopsy (no cause found, just confirmed by severe axonal loss I’ve had for 5 years now). My current neurologist won’t even order an MRI, says it wouldn’t find anything. (Hello, have had bad lower back pain for 5 years, and I had a kidney infection when I landed in the hospital with this sudden onset of crippling PN?) Because of metal in a.n ICD I had for 18 years ago, I could never have an MRI, until I got it all changed out to an MRI friendly one when it needed replacing 10 months ago. But my neurologist won’t do an MRI. So yes, I need a second opinion to see if an MRI, IVIG, Or plasmapheresis could help the diagnosis or offer any remedies! I am so glad to hear what is helping others here and learning from them, as I’m finding out I’m not alone.
