A friend recommended that I go to the local feed and seed store and get Silver a couple cattle prods and "tag" me or I can just randomly insert fingers or toes into a light socket!

The guy who did mine looked like a cross between Bob Barker and Bob Eubanks. All I could think was that I was being tortured by a game show host, and that I should receive lovely parting gifts for playing.

Maybe it won't be so bad. I had an EMG done a couple months ago and it wasn't painful at all. The doctor only inserted the needle in two places, the rest of the test was done with electrodes placed around the body. Kinda makes me wonder if my doctor did a thorough test.

Well that was interesting! Test did confirm neuropathy in both hands and the doctors said they weren't going to test the feet as previous exams by my PA confirmed neuropathy in both feet.
This means I will have an appointment with Compensation and Pensions and ask for an increase in disability rating (from 20% to 60%).
More to come I'm sure. No lingering effects from the test thankfully.
