All is not what it seems!

Well... saw the neurologist today, going in prepared for him to tell me "You don't have P.O.T.S, it's all because of your thyroid and osteoarthritis"
Lesson learned. He did tell me I don't have P.O.T.S., but he feels its some kind of Autonomic Nervous System Disorder. No I have to get an EMG, Skin Biopsies of my leg (3), Neuro cardio autonomic reflex with and without tilt (tilt table test) and a sweat test. Not to mention blood and urine tests. ANA, Rhumatoid factor, HIV, Hep, CBC w/differential, thyroid antibodies, metoboloc panel, B-12, Lipid profile. sed rate, c-reactive and a few more that I don't know what they're for.
And all this on Dec 22nd.

He poked my skin with a pin in several places and I didn't feel some of them, he had me push and pull with hands arms feet and legs, and the gait test. When he had me stand still with my eyes closed, I started to fall to my right and lost my balance.

I thought for sure I was going to go see my primary on Tuesday and he was going to tell me "we know what's wrong, here's what were going to do to help you start feeling better"

I'm "depressed" about this turn of events.

Sounds like your having a complete blood panel ran. That may be something to help understand what's going on.

For some reason you mentioned the off balance thing with your eyes closed.

I think Kitty9309 and Laura1967 had this and they were tested for Lyme disease. Had anyone thought of that?
