Hi Glenn

I have had an MRI on my spine with and w/o contrast and everything looked fine...also I had a lumbar puncture with the results showing nothing out of the ordinary. I do have soar neck muscles on occasion but it seems like that skeletal/muscular issue is not the cause of my PN.

Hi Lisa Ann

I have had my B6 checked and it was not a concern for the doc and I do take a B12 and Benfotiamine regularly but no B6 as of right now. I am a good eater of whole foods and feel as though my nutrition is not a major cause or issue with my PN.

I did see my Neuro yesterday and he is convinced that it is still a sensory form of GBS and started me on 20mg of Prednisone for 4 weeks and has referred me to a diagnostic Neuro specialist at the CU medical center in Denver where I live. I see her at the end of the month.

He did say my EMG showed enough damage that if the other neuro agrees I may be a candidate for IVIG. But he said the insurance company would be the biggest hurdle in that quest.

Anyway...thanks for your posts...I'll keep everyone informed as to my continuing journey with this challenge.
