Thank you Soo much laurie.
Ok great, I as struggling to find out online what that meant, so thanks for clearing that one up for me.
I haven't heard of "interernist" before, we might have a different word for it down here. But yes been assessed by 2 different general practioners from start to now (almost fortnightly), seen a rheumatologist as well, but they all said the neurological path is the one to follow. Done alot of blood work, MRIs, hair toxicity testing, stool testing, urine etc etc. Getting nothing. The only thing I had was high B6, but nuero said although it effects nerves, wouldn't create atrophy.
And in terms of my atrophy. It definately had a couple of hot spots where it started first (where the fasics were most noticeable) sole of left foot, right calf, left thenar muscle. Now yes all widespread but mostly left sided. (3 months since onset)
Thanks Soo much again for your time. And sorry this response was a bit long winded
