Never Conduction Test...
Do not be afraid of this test, its not that bad.
I was scared to death of having it done & almost cancelled my appointment.. I was new to this message board at the time, & Melani was the first to repond to my frantic post & Copdaddy came in to tell me not to be afraid.. Others also reassured me.

Heres how it goes. You are lying down next to a computer & the doctor puts a two prong thing at different places on your hands & arms and then gives you little shocks that register on the computer.. The shocks made me jump a bit, but they weren't what I would call painful..Actaully I was joking & laughing while it was being done.
But I 'm a silly sort of person anyhow I guess.lol
And thats pretty much the entire test..I was maybe there for 20 minutes or less. Can't remember as it was a year or more ago.. But you won't be there very long.. I was given my results on the spot & then they were sent to my primary
doctor so we could decide what to do...I chose to do nothing except wear splints to sleep in & take advil as needed.. My elbows were a bit achey after the test but went away about four days later. Found out I have moderate ct in both hands.

Hope this helps ease your fears like others helped me before my test.. Do not stress, its not worth it, believe me :)
Debbie
