If you have a thorough neurologist who is getting the tests and labs you need, then you may find that Mayo is just repeating tests you already had. But, then again a second opinion is always good.

I do find it interesting that so many of us with neuropathy seem to have anemia. I have done many searches and never found much information linking the two.
Hi northern gal, I believe it depends on the tests being done as to the time taken. They can get viral and bacterial screens done within hours but the inflammation tests take longer.
Maybe they send them away to somewhere else but I doubt it since our hospital is a major teaching hospital, but who knows 😊
