I was at neurology today and they are testing me for what seems like a million things.
I have got symptoms in my feet and bladder / bowel etc.
They are testing for peripheral neuropathy amongst other things. I have to get nerve conduction studies and a brain MRI.
We have a few fair few auto immune things in the family so they are testing me for them and things like lymes.
Funnily enough I'm feeling the best I have In a long time, it's nuts that I'm feeling much better and they are searching for anything and everything.
I have weakness in my right leg and foot. 3/5 and I have weak reflexes and absent reflex in foot. I got burning and tingling in my middle toes and it's difficult to know what my big toe is doing.
I don't know when my bladder is full so I've been catheterising for a while. I'm still having bowel issues, and I've lost weight so they're testing for coeliacs.
I got so much buzzing around in my head, is this a usual initial appt?
What the nerve testing like? Why do they do so many tests for so many diseases?
