I know it can help mark progression, but I certainly don't want to keep getting them if they're still not going to tell me why. I'm sure I'll be able to tell if it gets worse.

Like you, My PCP & PM doctor agree this is peripheral neuropathy. Did not get tested. I guess if you are trying to get on disability, the testing would be important; otherwise, for myself, I didn't see any reason for testing.
