[TMIC] Neurologist visit.

[Kevin Wolfthal]

6:30 am now.  I crashed when I got home
from the neurologist last night.

No dx for my hands yet, didn't expect one.

As expected, he wants me to get an MRI
of the neck and an EMG of the arms.  He also
mentioned a nerve biopsy, but he wants me to
get it in NYC because he doesn't like how
they are interpreted in my state, (CT).  I
haven't agreed to the nerve biopsy yet.

At least he didn't disagree with my dx of
TM.

He mentioned a number of possible ailments
that could be causing my hand/arm problems.
Everytime I asked him if there was a treatment
for any of them he just said 'no'.

I liked him as a doctor, but overall I am
disappointed.  I will be getting some PT
for my hands.

Thank you to everyone who sent replies
about TM and reflexes.   Doctor said
that hyper or hypo-reflexia, (sp?), do
not preclude a dx of TM.  At least
that was my understanding of what he
said.
