Exclamation Doc wants to do another Nerve Conduction Study!

They're listening! I've been telling my Neurologist that things are continuing to progress, we are not slowing this PN at all. He finally believes me and has decided to do another Nerve Conduction study and compare it to my last one done in September. That will be six months. Long enough to show marked progression.
Before it was mild, just in my feet and up the sides of my legs. Now, my hands and face also. They have done two MRI's and haven't found anything in the brain or neck area.
It does make you feel a little like it is all in your head when they can't find anything that is causing all this pain, but c'mon! Where the hell is all this pain coming from?

I'm on the highest dose of Topamax he can give me and it's still not enough!

No whining today, I'm just here to ask a few questions... When he does the test, should I go without medication before the test? If so, how long before? I don't want to numb my nerves for the test, I want them to get a true reading. However, I don't know how long I can last without medication. I'm in SEVERE pain without it.

Geez, now I have to paint my toe nails and shave my legs too! Can't have them seeing me with "winter legs"!
