    Can't help, I'm afraid. Just bumping it up.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I had a nerve test a few weeks ago.
    Nothing painful.
    They will prob put them sticky pads on you and all they do is press a button that will send an electric wave through you. I t is to test how quick your nerves react to the electric current(it is shown on a screen) it is then analised and sent to your consultant.
    Did doc explain why he was doing the test?

    I had some done a while ago for nerve damage. Uncomfortable at most because they will, as traluvie said probably stimulate your nerves with mild electric shocks.

    Prior to having my tests done never in a million years would I have envisaged myself volunteering to be electrocuted. :shock:

    I had one done on my arm and feet a few years ago, and as someone has already said it's uncomfortable but not painful.

    hope it goes well.

    And then they will measure how long it takes you to hit the ceiling and how quickly you recover from it :lol: (Sorry. Couldn't resist.)
