If he's nearby, you can pick them up at his office; if not, have them mailed or faxed. But you need to know what's been done so far, and what needs to be done.
You have something which is evolving, and I dont' have a sense of how quickly this is happening. Nor do I know your underlying health. Perhaps you've posted it elsewhere, but it would help us help you.

I have the small fiber peripheral neuropathy caused by diabaetes. I was diagnosed with diabetes over 10 years ago and never controlled my sugars. Now I am payin the price. I do have my numbers under control now. I guess better to be safe then sorry. I just got a copy of my records. He did I am not sure what is called but hooked me up on my legs and then stuck me like it seemed like electricity shocks. Just did lab work to see what my levels of tegratol were doing in my blood. I am seeing a new neurologist next week because this guy to me was such a jerk.
