Hi, Mike. How I ended up with two neurologists was a bit of a fluke. About three years ago, I realized my balance problems were getting worse. A friend asked if I'd seen a neurologist. I hadn't; my PCP had never suggested I see oneāāso I asked her, and she referred me. I'll call this fellow Neuro #1. Neuro #1's office was in disarray; on every visit, I'd be scheduled to meet with a different MA. (The front desk told me that these MAsāāfour in allāāeither had been let go or had found better jobs. I smile remembering: all four had names beginning with the letter "K": Kim, Karen, Katherine, and Kelly.) Without severing ties with Neuro #1, I begged my PCP for another neurologist, perhaps one with a more holistic approach to treating PN. That's how I ended up connecting with Neuro #2, who practices physiatric medicine. It was Neuro #2 who administered my EMG. And it was that EMGāāthe resultsāāthat led to the first time I'd heard anyone say "peripheral neuropathy." So that's me in a nutshell: a guy with two neurologists and a case of idiopathic axonal sensorimotor PN. I'm a lucky guy, ain't I? š āāRay
