Her SX are very nonspecific. There are no real objective deficit suggesting a significant central or peripheral nerve system disease. Apparently she has been told that she had neuropathy in the past though the EMG and nerve conduction study today does not reveal any sign of the nerve, root, or plexus lesion. It is possible her SX are related to fibro. Ruling out organic cause would be appropriate.

Well, the nice thing about that is that he says you have fibro and acknowledges that. He also does not say that you have a strong non-organic component, which means that while he can't put a finger on it, he doesn't think you're totally nuts and creating the sx. Ruling out organic causes is nice. He wants to make sure that other things aren' causing whatever it is that ails ya.

It's my same beef with two neurologists looking at MRIs and seeing different things. He's not seeing what the other neuro did and/or he's discounting that based on what he found himself.

All's not horrible with this. Unfortunately, it doesn't say exactly WHAT it is that is causing everything for you.

Yet another non-specific answer to a problem. Life's full of 'em. Too bad we can't write up non-specific reports on the docs.
