He seems to think that I do have Guilliam-Barre. He said that he didn't want to do an EMG because it would be just unnecessary pain for me since it was very obvious just by my symptoms that it is neuropathy and more than likely affecting the small fibers since my symptoms were not severe. He is going to go over my MRI's that I had done previously and I will come back after 5 weeks. He prescribed Neurontin.

He did more in one day then my other Neurologist did in a month and I didn't have to play phone tag or talk to a machine.
