For the past 8 years I have been given various dx: PN, Fibro, polymyalgia rheumatica. I am currently being treated for diabetes which I control via diet. But I am not taking any medications for the various neuro/rheumo conditions.

To date, I have gone to countless doctors, pain clinics, etc. and no one has given me a definite dx nor have I been given any drugs which have helped. I've had MRIs. EMGs, all sorts of tests with no definitive answers.

Six months ago my PCP sent my history to Mayo but they said they could not offer me an appointment. When I phoned Mayo's intake person, she indicated that my symptoms were of too longstanding duration and the neuros didn't feel they could do anything more for me. But I don't want to give up. I know that Mayo's comprehensive approach would at least give me more valuable info than I currently have.

I would be very grateful for any help in this quest. Thanks.
