Default delay

Turns out the doctor who was going to do the myelogram tomorrow is out of network, and it would have been a fortune. So I've canceled the test and will reschedule in-network.

My neuro says there's a good chance of false positive elevated protein, and was not in favor of testing. I look at it another way---if the protein is normal, that's a pretty good indicator that the neuropathy is not CIDP or autoimmune.

I'll ask if they break the protein down to make it more likely to identify false positives.

But now, I've ended up with a day off, and NO myelogram. Not a bad thing, I'm thinking....

Thank you Glenntaj and dahlek.
