Bone scan -- normal

EMG -- unusual abnormal findings--neurologists don't know what to make of it. It does not show a pattern of demyelination or axonal damage. It does show that the plantar (bottom of foot) nerves are non-responsive.

We went to the PCP today. We are planning on going to U of M. He is going to find out what they have there. It will probably take several months to get in there.

I just want to make sure that I get the right doctor. I told the PCP that I want to make sure that if we wait 6 months to get in somehwere then we need to make sure that we are going to someone who knows more than the doctors that we have seen before.

Thanks for all your input. I will continue to search and read the great information here.
