I just met with my GP this morning for routine bloodwork results. I told him about the biopsy and he thinks I should hold off for now. He finally talked me into trying gabapentin at the lowest dose and even though my neurologist says I have to take it consistently, My GP said everyone is different and I can experiment with taking it for just flair ups.
He also suggested that even though my neuro is supposed to be good that I should get a second opinion from another one. I have read a lot on the threads here going back to 2006 about biopsy's. The one positive I saw was that if you do it , have it done by a skilled surgeon. The neuro surgeon I saw does brain and spinal surgery on a regular basis. So that's why to him a nerve biopsy is routine small stuff. however to me it's big and I won't rush into it. I also saw that someone here had a trial IVIG treatment that was helpful. I may push for that first. Thanks again everyone. |
