Has anyone suggested an EMG (electromyogram) and nerve conduction study? That's what led to my diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. (The cause of THAT is still unknown. But there ARE treatments!)

There has been no other diagnostic test other than routine blood and urine samples which have panned out within normal limits. She has seen a GP and a neurologist. Both are stumped and offer no other suggestions. We find that unacceptable.
My wife is a CCU nurse at another major hospital here. She has taken action and is in the process of lining up a consultation with another neurologist. That should happen fairly soon.
Thanks for responding to my posting.
