Annie,

I hope that others will correct me if I'm wrong--because I'm new at this--but my impression is that when you're obviously sick and the doctors can't find a cause, they send you out to another expert.

Also, when it gets to the point of diagnosing the really tricky stuff, experts will differ. My neuro told me the other day that there was no reason for him to give me another SFEMG, but that if I go anywhere else, to expect that they will give me another one. He says there's so much "art" involved in the interpretation that a new doctor will often want to "see for himself."

So if you get a "negative" on the biopsy, it is not the end of the road for you. It just means the road is longer than you'd hoped.
