En Bloc, my morphology was normal (at the calf at any rate), but I and the neuro and pretty much everyone else are convinced that it's autoimmune. I take it that occurs also?

Also, other than Hopkins, are there any other great ones. How about Corinthian Reference Lab?

Second opinions are not just for doctors...second opinions can be for biopsy interpretations as well. Especially, if you don't think the testing/evaluation/sample/etc was handled or done properly. It doesn't matter who did the biopsy, or what reason you want another opinion...it is your right to have it done to make sure the correct diagnosis is being made and your treatment reflects that Dx.
