All I was saying is that AN can be conclusively tested for, so it's something that your neurologist can rule in or out. Also, that there won't be one overall treatment, it is symptom management e.g. laxatives for constipation. It's not like other more complex conditions like SLE where diagnosis can be long and erm, what's the term, subject to change and according to opinion. You know what I mean; in that some rheums say seronegative SLE cannot exist, some disagree.

I hope you find the answers you are looking for with new neurologist.
