http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/298200-diagnosis This one seems to be a good illustration of the sniff. I just had to stand behind an xray unit and sniff. It is a live action test they would film not a still like a standard xray. I had a nasty namsy ER doc once do a standard xray once when I came in ambulance. He said see! You dont have paralysis. I havent been back there since. He even went on to say dont you get it? Why do you keep coming in?

This one is a doctor question from a patient who had one but didnt know what it was.

If not for my pulmo haivng treated me for the Sjogrens affects on my lungs, and breathing probs that went beyond that I wouldnt have had his backing as soon. HE was the first one to say you need a GOOD, really good muslce neuro after he did a pulmonary exercise test that ruled out the kind of fatigue seen in Fibromyalgia or CFS as they is why I could get a neuro or even my internist to take me seriously.

I didnt know about this test when I left Mayo leaving me so devastated. It is one of those cases where the neuro seemed to not see the truth. NOt want the truth. I connected with another woman who went there and got the same doc. She was even harder on her. during the history she started yelping at her to stop doing things, stop doing her symtpoms as if she was faking. After several of these the woman clear from New York there in Minnesota walked out and flew home. She said that tho this was all the doc did she wrote a report saying it was not real to her doc. After her story I knew I got out lucky. NOt unscared but lucky. I was in the waitng room weeping uncontrollably after they wheeled me out of her office at the final visit. A lady came up to me and was like an angel. This complete stranger sat with me and comforted me reminding me of the good in this world.
