Hi all, I know I've been MIA for a while. (Got a new boyfriend)... anyway, I saw the specialist that was listed in the Bay Area PN Awareness Day that was held in San Francisco.
I finally got an appt. with him and he ran "more" tests, I will have more answers at the end of this week. In the mean time, I am unemployed, (got let go from my job three weeks ago) wasn't sure if I should file for disability or unemployment. Doc says he won't agree to disability yet, he wants to rule out all options of fixing the PN first.
So far, he says it's, Small Fiber, idiopathic PN. I do NOT have Diabetes, Thyroid, B-12 deficiencies, or any of the other "obvious" reasons. Now he is looking for less obvious reasons.
He is one of the leading specialists in the San Francisco area, and I sure hope he can figure it out BEFORE my unemployment runs out. My lease is up on my house soon, and I pray she doesn't kick me out before the doc makes a decision.
