Took me 15 years to get it! Negative after negative tests... then one of my docs said how about this, and printed this out.

Year later now, I am 1000% better, Still 100000% to go still
The lidocaine test is the only Positive test they can give. Congratulations on a good diagnosis! I only say that because of the 15 years of hell not knowing and thinking I was crazy.

But today I was in a hospital and got the nerve conduction velocity test. And the nerve conduction velocity is totally normal. So the doctors sent me away:-( They told me that the nerve conduction test is very safe - if it turns out normally you can't have MP.  are the doctors right?? or are there some MP cases with normal nerve conduction velocity?or could it be that I HAD MP and it's healing now...?
I'm quite desperate now. the worst thing would be another desease without a diagnosis  |
