Default UCLA teaching hospital

Thanks for all your replies I sure appreciate all of you. I just got back from UCLA Medical and saw one of there top Neuro Docs, she was very kind and spent so much time with me, I have to tell you she was not impressed with my skin biopsy, she said that test is fairly new and has not proven to be all that accurate, she believes that I may have an autoimmune disease and is testing me accordingly, she also from all my tests and information says that this neuropathy may have been caused by a viral infection, but I do not have CIDP because my EMG'S are all clean. She is going to write a full report on my visit today and I will let you all know what it says, she wants me to change one of my medications,gabapentin, to cymbalta she said it works better than gabapentin, she also suggested acupuncture and rlypoic acid. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks, Jan
