Perhaps because they primarily cause pain and may not result in physical disability??
I sure hope you can get some answers soon.

Theres probably hundred causes of neuropathy that cant be tested with our current understanding of neuropathies. I think alot of people confuse neuropathy with "depression", anxiety, issues, as you seen in this site, that is not the case. diabetes, injury(to the head) seems to be the most common, the most uncommon are something like sfn, autoimmune,cancer, which are not easily diagnosed. neuropathies are not easily diagnosed because, there many parts of your nervous system is involved, sometime like a disease or defect in a brain that results in neuropathy in your peripherial nerves is not easily "connect the dots", as direct damage to nerves is easily seen.
