Do you already have an appointment with a neurologist? If not, sometimes it can take MONTHS to get in to see a specialist. If that is the case with you then ask your PCP to call the neurologist to get you in sooner.

How long have you been experiencing these symptoms?  They do seem to fit into GBS/CIDP.

You should expect to have a full blood panel run including toxicology (to make sure you haven’t been exposed to a poison) and an MRI of your brain & spine both with & without contrast. Have any of those tests been ordered yet?
