Billye:

I understand completely. His neuro also said "you don't want him to get a Sural Nerve Biopsy". I never asked that he get one. I just wanted to know what exactly a Sural Nerve Biopsy will tell us.

Will it say "yes you have CIDP" or will it say "no, you have something else".

That's the only thing I am curious (and he really wants to know this). He doesn't see his neuro that often, and he is not one to ask questions, so he said: "ask the people on the boards exactly what a Sural Nerve Biopsy will reveal in my case". So I said "sure, no problem".

As a matter of fact, when we went to the Neuropathy meeting, the moderator of that meeting actually told Alan "there is no reason why you shouldn't have a sural nerve biopsy, I had one 20 years ago, and it was no big deal". I think that's why Alan wants to find out what all the fuss is.

And I agree completely, he doesn't need any more pain in his life. I mean, who does????
