Hi Jammyh,

Very sorry to hear of your troubles. I can offer my opinion...

Absolutely I would seek a 2nd opinion from a different neurologist. The EMG should be checked on the affected side.

From the dry eyes, ataxia, and pins and needles sensation, I would think a rheumatologist should take a look at you and get some bloodwork. Have you ever heard about Sjogren's syndrome? Take a look at it and see if your symptoms fit.

Good luck in your journey, & please be careful!
