> Hey Ben, why don't you let us know how you are doing. I guess we'll probably have to wait until you get back from a few doctor's appts. By the way--What is your neuropathy from? From what I understand from my type of injury after 2 years it is permanent. So mine will never get any better, but on the good side I know that it will never get any worse.
Hi kpoYes I have to wait for apps in the hospital till 6 weeks know and no answer when I can come ! I called but they are full and dont know when it is my turn. Thats the situation in good hospitals with an awfull organisation - unfortunately very usual....so I wait with this unbearable pain!
Some infos about apps. before:
They found an absent sensory response of the peripheral nerves (in the limbs), but dont know what it means and if this is causing my symptoms ! Pain, burning needles but no loss of sens!
They will redo the EMG/NCS in the hospital and perhaps a lumbal punction (spine liquid)
to look about infections etc.
I had often fasciculations in the muscles (fast repeated twiches) of legs during this 2 years and some docs are very interested in this (others dont care about it).see also the discussion I had with katekite:

Any ideas suggestions, thoughts, inputs or comments.
