I had an appt today and my doctor scheduled me for a Quantative Sensory Test (QST). I really dont know what they are, and i was wondering if anyone here had ever heard of one, or even better actually had one?

thanks

I'm sorry I thought I was starting a new post and I put this silly thing in your thread. I am so fly by night today. I really am in a good mood but just fly by night.

By the way I never heard of that test either.
