I have my nerve study in the morning. What should I expect? Any questions I should ask? Also, do most doctors balk if you ask for a copy of those lovely notes they type on their computer?

I've never had a nerve study, so I can't help with that. However, I have not had a problem getting a copy of the doctor's notes made during an appointment. If a question does come up, then just say that they're for your own record. For example, in 5 years or more, the notes might still be meaningful to you, but they could become very difficult to access. In my own experience, I had not had an MRI in 10 years, and when I had one 2 years ago, the results from the earlier scan were not available.

These days most hospitals and doctors have a patient portal where you can go online and get copies of all office notes, radiology and lab reports.
