My neurologist is one of the best here and he did what ever he could. I have some problems with vibration, less sensetivity to pain and that's it. no demage to my nerves (and I pray that at least - this will continue). He called it - some kind of sensetivity (how many mistakes????) in my nerves system / SFSN. My doc' wasn't the kind with open minds and he didn't "beleaved" to the neuro'. Offcorse I moved to another doc'.
I'm more then happy that I found you and the forum.
And about family history - no auto imune illness at least in the last 4 generations - as far as I know.
I didn't work with metals, but with solvents and organic substances. - so they won't check me for metals - and organics - disapear from the body after a short time. - SO - the question is still there.
