Default On my own I guess......

Just had a follow up appointment with my general neuro. He said he still finds nothing to support a specific diagnosis other than the generic "disturbance of skin sensation".

The notes from the neuromuscular specialist I saw in April said he did not recommend any additional evaluation or testing. And specifically said he found nothing to support the need for a skin biopsy.

My general neuro is pretty much following the specialists lead. He said I've reached the "point of diminishing returns" with regard to testing. And he won't refer me back to a specialist unless there is some significant change in my condition to warrant it. Of course, he will give me more Gabapentin if I want it, or cymbalta, etc.

So, basically I can have all the drugs I want - but no more testing and no more specialists to actually find out what the problem is. What a pantload that is
