Now that your son has health insurance, I hope you all will work hard to find a good diagnosis. I have a nerve issue of unknown cause, and I'm still working to find a cause, and maybe a solution, after four years. It's an -- additional -- pain to battle insurance companies to pay for obscure tests in the hope that a cause might be found, but I'm still slugging through. And paying for a few out of pocket as need be. Good luck.
