Default Full body scan

Do they ever do a full body scan on a person with neuropathy symptoms?

TIA

They will scan EVERYTHING, even if you just had a scan locally. Every test (that THEY feel necessary) will be repeated even thought they want you to bring your records.

I did get some diagnosis and help (but not the basis of my problems or much in the way of extent of neuro problems). I frankly wasn't impressed. They have an excellent "system" to get into appts (all day long) and their logistics is perfect. But if you don't have positive tests (and many with autoimmune disorders are sero-negative) clearly given them the answer, it will all be in your head. I have heard so many people say this...and I experienced it myself from one of their doctors, only to be properly diagnosed (with proof) at Johns Hopkins afterward.

Oh no, anyone can get the psych patient scenario locally. So sorry.

Is there more information on the autoimmune disorders in these threads?

Thank you for sharing your story.
