He did all he could, and I feel confident that he'll help me in any way he can as far as charting and progress or worsening, and if I decide to go on medication, etc.

Ah ok. I'm hoping I don't have to repeat the EMG since I had one done a few weeks ago. I was hoping to get a full immune function workup and test for everything under the sun including any possible viruses. I am guessing this will more on the immunology/pathology side and the neuro could steer me in that direction. I just feel like neurologists don't do as much lab testing as they could.
