Guest guest Posted April 6, 2000 Report Share Posted April 6, 2000 Sandi you are far from nuts. You are the bravest person I have ever met. I have had many experiences where I threw away huge amounts of money on medical professionals and tests and cures which didn't do anything. If I were in your place (which I kind of am) I would spend the $1200. Save it, borrow it, or a combination of the two. What if this one is the one? Last year when I was in despair my husband said " when things look the darkest is when you have to fight the hardest. " I know how hard it is to keep fighting while enduring constant defeat. Maybe you can retreat for a short time but you can't give up. Love, Hi Everyone, I am so frustrated. I really thought I was getting somewhere with this neurological connection for my vulvar pain. My first neuro told me that I have a neuropathy and the next step is a 2 inch incision to remove an ankle nerve for biopsy. So I went for a second opinion to a neuropathic expert in NYC. He repeated the EMG, mentioned the IV therapy, and then said to come back today for a small fiber nerve test. He didn't tell me it would be $1200 and insurance won't cover it. I can not afford this. I have already spent over 20K on finding my cure. So I know the test won't go away. I'll wait to see how the physical therapy and guai help. I know I must look like I am nuts to all of you for trying so many things and going to so many doctors, but I burn like crazy 24/7 and nothing has helped. In a funny way I know I am a little nuts about this. I feel as long as I am actively pursuing this then there is hope. But it looks like with this neurological problem I have reached a dead end. Perhaps I'd be better off if I just stopped the pursuit of a cure and focused on the physical therapy, exercise, and guai protocol. I think I need confidence in my body's own ability to heal because right now I have none. I think my problem boils down to that I need pain management so I am not so desperately trying to find a cure and focus more on steady healing. Anyway, hope you all are having a good day.
