Default I can only second--

--what echoes said; get all copies of all test results you've had--it makes it easier when you go to new doctors, of even for follow-up with old ones.

In the end, you are responsible for understanding what the test results might mean, so that you can ask informed questions of physicians. Given the medical system we have, with rushed doctors not looking at complete pictures, we have to be our own best advocates.

I recommend the Liza Jane spreadsheets quite often--they're at [url]www.lizajane.org[url]--these were developed to be about as comprehensive a listing of tests for neural symptoms as could be, and the spreashseets are very effectie for suggesting tests to doctors and tracking results/looking for patterns over time.
