2005 going back to 2003. your neurologist is an idiot...there are many many people who are on diability and cant work because of peripheral neuropathy. it is a highly disabling condition for many. when i was approved my emg was showing my PN to be moderate to severe. it is now severe. it progresses slowly for me anyway. i know an emg wont help you since it cant detect small fiber neuropathy. i think you need a new neurologist.
