Something I've been thinking a lot about lately - another environmental disease/health issue we (humans) may be bringing down upon ourselves...

I recently met with a second neurologist & more testing, but I've been hesitant to post anything until the test results were in. My follow-up to discuss them with neurologist isn't for another month, but my PCP is tied into the same computer, and happy to give me the results over the phone (hardcopies to follow).

Once again, due to my weight (secondary to intractible pain) diabetes was suspected. I explained that I'd been tested several times before, to which he replied that blood test screenings aren't accurate (wish I'd known that before) - so he ordered a glucose tolerance test. Negative again, as were the other blood tests, so I'm expecting another dx of idiopathic.

Having gone through the list during the initial visit, I'm pretty much left with suspected environmental exposures, but that may have been decades ago and the results surfacing only now. At least none of the places I've lived were built on chemical dumps, etc.

I'll probably never figure it out (and it likely wouldn't matter if I did) - another in a series of medical blindsides to cope with...
