I had an EMG and nerve study test yesterday, as recommended by my new rheumy. I've had peripheral neuropathy for probably about 8 months now, which I've known just from the numbness/tingling in my right leg and foot, but my doctor never had me get tests and just went based off of the symptoms I told her. She wants me to get more tests done to check my autonomic nerves since that may be the cause of my high resting heart rate, if those nerves are affected. Has anyone had the autonomic nerves affected or know what tests are usually done? My new doctor prescribed me gabapentin, so I started that this morning... hoping that will help with the pain soon.
