Hi Echoes,
I have been trying to get the telephone number of John Hopkins from my doctor's clinic but to no avail. During my last visit to the neuro who did the skin biopsy, he gave me me a vague response about my interest in knowing exactly the "numbers" of my nerve densities, whether there was excessive branching, swelling, etc. He was forceful to say that I dont have a peripheral neuropathy (this is everytime I made reference to my condition). I dont know how to contact the lab because they were asking for a reference number. It is frustrating. Doctor does not want to pursue other tests and does not even want to give a follow-up skin biopsy in the future. Now, I am left with no firm diagnosis while my symptoms are more than when it started 7 months ago.
