@ray666 Ray, well...with testing, we all know what we have but for most of us, we don't know why we have PN. I think the goal for many is to try to figure out what can be done to stabilize the condition or with a little luck, improve conditions. For me, to stabilize would be an improvement. It will be interesting to see how the EMG goes in a few weeks and compare it to the same prior testing. Good luck!

@njed Good morning, Ed. I’ve definitely slid to the back burner my need to know the cause of my PN and kept in place on the front burner my wish to do the best possible job of managing my symptoms. That said, my soon to meet with a new neuro doc has rekindled my curiosity (note: curiosity, and not a desperate need to know) about the origins of my PN. It’s just the Sherlock Holmes in me, I guess. Because he’s asked me, I’m putting together a timeline of my symptoms. My best guess is that I first noticed a weird unsteadiness sometime in 2014 (10 years ago). Still, it hadn’t become a problem (interfering with everyday living) until 2019 (5 years ago) when I was so uncomfortable on stage that I quit acting. Will this new neuro doc cry, “A-ha, here’s what caused your PN!” Undoubtedly not, but at least I’ll do my homework and give him the requested timeline. –Ray (@ray666)
