I also have other symptoms like dizziness, eye problems .
My question is what should i ask him tomorrow.
What meds should i ask for if any, any tests? He doesn't seem to be willing to give me any medicine.
These have been ruled out, lyme,diabetes.
Six months ago he said that if my symptoms are not better, he wants to do another nerve conduction test(which I had a year ago).
Why do i need another ncv test? he did not do an EMG test.
thank you

I used to use my flip phone as a alarm, but my hands would be so numb, I couldn't open the phone to turn off the alarm... I am going to the Neurologist next month. My hands and feet are getting worse too, but my PN has been very slow in progression over the last 28 years. I thought of PNPP, but mine is probably just hereditary neuropathy...
Good luck with the doctor visit! The problem with this malady, they can't just give you a pill to make it better...
