Default i went to hopkins in 2010

i saw the head of the PN center. he repeated an emg, did a skin biopsy & performed bloodwork.

i felt that i got a more thorough workup there than i had ever had with the myriad neuros i consulted in nyc, including drs. latov & chin.

after the doc reviewed the test results, he concluded that my PN, altho initially caused by chemo, was exacerbated by a variety of concurrent health issues...untreated diabetes, etc. all of this information was never evaluated nor discussed by the docs in nyc.

in short, my hopkins trip was worthwhile & i would go again if i felt the need to.
