Everyone is different in this area. I am of the mind set of you and your second neuro., exhaust all tests that are know causes of PN before "putting to bed as idiopathic." With that said, I think it will be "bedtime" soon for this dx. of mine.
Just as soon as I follow through with the blood work for paraneoplastic panel. Script has been sitting on my desk for a few weeks (been putting it off).
