I went to Mayo in Rochester.

They did a full body CT scan, another EMG (even though I'd had one in my home city), and A LOT of blood testing.

*if you go I suggest staying in a hotel*
I live 3 hours away so I drove.

But, after all that they didn't figure out what was wrong, and I was told if my neuropathy progressed to go back and they would proceed with the spinal tap, and nerve biopsy as I would need treatment.

The only positive is that they are good with their EMG's not hurting.

I did the lumbar puncture in my home city.. and any future testing will be done here as well.

I don't like waiting an hour.

I think if you have something rare and need a specialist.. sure.
*Esp. if you can afford it*

Can you get on medicaid for medical back up?
How about getting on medicare?

I don't qualify for SSDI cause of work credits.. but I do get SSI.
Its a godsend.

I'd suggest it if you are paying a lot for medical expenses.
