Hi Everyone,
I am also new to peripheral neuropathy. I am having my second upper and lower extremity nerve conduction study in 1 week. At what point do they give you a diagnosis for what type of peripheral neuropathy you have? If there is some treatment for a certain type, why do they take so long to figure things out?

At this point, I have had surgery for a ruptured peroneal tendon of unknown etiology and right tarsal tunnel syndrome which definitely helped the foot pain that was unbearable (he said there were varicose veins wrapped around the nerve.
I have symptoms in all extremities. Working is difficult as I am a nurse. At what point do you decide you just cannot work anymore. I have suffered from chronic fatigue for decades but I just don't know how much longer I can work a full time job. How do you go about applying for disability? None of the doctor's even ask how this is impacting my life. If I have no health insurance, I won't be back. I would appreciate any advice for how people have managed emotionally, medically and financially. Thanks in advance.
