Default Saw new neurologist and finally feel comfortable with her

I know others have issues too, though commonality, I'm unsure.
It's raining again, so I hurt bad today and need to keep this short, but wanted to say I went to a major teaching hospital (Univ of KS hosp) and was assigned to a neurologist who cares and is willing to treat me!

She explained my symptoms present as one of 3 things (or combinations) - auto-immune, autonomic and CRPS. She is testing for the first 2. CRPS will most likely be a diagnosis of exclusion. I've posted elsewhere that I am terrified of the EMG/NC test, but b/c she invites a team approach, I have agreed to undergo 3 of them at the end of May (is there an emoji for terrified?)
