I did self-refer.

Sorry, in prior post I meant to say:

"I am split: the doctor is literally an ALS expert" in an ALS approved center, but also at an institution that also extensively treats injuries and has treated one of my injuries before. This is good because a) I can trust their word as final, and b) no matter what is or is not wrong with me, I can get care for it through them.

I really hope I am setting myself up for an answer (and God willing a cure) once and for all, even if I have to wait a month for it.
