Default Passed the Nerve conduction study

Did the nerve tests, everything came out normal, wasn't painful, just unpleasant. Since my pain in bilateral, he just tested the right arm and leg. I knew right away that the nerve conduction was normal, as I could feel the current race up the arm. This doesn't rule out Herditary sensory neuropathy, he said that a lot of times you don't get the large fiber involvement until later in the game.
So I scheduled a punch biopsy for SFN, only have to wait another 2 months for the appointment. I told him, I first called his office in March, and now my third appointment is Octouber! He said that they were starting to look like the VA with hidden patient lists... I guess it will just get worse, as the number of doctors are shrinking.
He mentioned that companies are now mapping the whole DNA for $1,000, he didn't know how the companies that charge for each strand will stay in business, probably won't. That is a much better price then $12,000! They are doing the studies with computers, so the price should come down.
