On Wednesday, 4/12/07, I will be going to Columbia University to see a specialist on a second opinion. My fear is 1) he will only look at tests I've had done and give a diagnosed., and 2) he won't consider other possibilities.
Here is where I'm at now...
slowed speech, left hand finger-tip weakness, some minor left tricep weakness, slight heaviness of left foot, muscle twitches at rest (all over).
Tests done so far: blood work (including heavy metals), MRI of brain & c-spine, EMG (abnormal) and a CNE (concentric needle EMG) (slightly abnormal).
So, given that, what tests should I urge the Columbia doc to do?
Whatever you ideas you have would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jen
