In 1983, fifteen years after the horrific symptoms began I became upset when the doctor said to me, “Why do you want something to be wrong?” Now I knew something was wrong and I wanted it fixed? Of course the doctor meant it was a mental problem and I concluded at the time I surely must be crazy. One neurologist in 1979 did hedge his opinion stating “probably not neurological.” The word ‘probably’ without providing a medical opinion as to what may be wrong was not very helpful. They implied, and I assumed this meant, I did not have anything wrong or did not have neuropathy. So what was the problem with getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment during those decades?įor over three decades, upon complaining of symptoms since 1969, I was told by the doctors, “All tests are normal”. The over two hundred doctors I saw for my symptoms from 1969 to 2003, including those noted below are highly trained medical experts. doi:10.Being a patient with CIDP/Autonomic PN for over 45 years due to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, this is a subject with which I have a lot of hard earned experience.
