Today was my neuro dr appointement. It was as useless as I suspected it would be.

She refused to even CONSIDER that I had EM and just said neuropathy. Then basically said we will test but end result is no cure just pain meds. She ordered blood tests from her lab and then ordered another set of blood tests that can only be done at one lab in the US and it has to be approved by my insurance before I can do it. Apparently it is very expensive. I tried asking several times what tests she was running and she intentionally was vague. I think it has something to do with auto immune but I dont know.

She said if my insurance approves the test they will send me a kit ??? then i take the kit to a specific lab to be drawn??? I dunno. If I ever hear from my insurance for it I plan to find out what specifically it is for since its soooo expensive.

Oh, and I got the drug garbatin/neurotin?? yeah.

Not any better off today than before I went. I want to find a doctor who will check/treat EM.
