Would your local Dr be able to make a referral to Mayo for you to see a neurologist? I don’t know if it will work but I saw a local internal medicine Dr last Thurs who took my symptoms serious and has given me a written order/referral to see a neurologist if I can find one and he said he would do the Mayo referral as well. I’m going to follow up with his office tomorrow and will let you know if it works. My symptoms are now impacting not only hands with numbness and tingling but also legs with unsteady walking and my hands are clumsy too makes it difficult to type for my work. I also feel coldness in my hands and forearms. Then last week I started feeling numbness/coldness/burning in my trunk area lower back and across abdomen so it’s still progressing. My Dr last week thinks since it’s been 6 weeks since start of symptoms it’s likely not GBS however he mentioned there were other conditions that progress more slowly that I need evaluated for. One that I found researching online is CIDP
chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

Yes, please keep me updated . My doctor also said that she would give me a referral to whoever I wanted. The issue was still the 6 month wait.
