It just seems that more tests need to be done to determine exactly what type of neuropathy I have...

Hi, I guess really I don't have a diagnosis - it is idiopathic - but I had nerve conduction tests, a muscle biopsy and a nerve biopsy and these are the findings of those tests. Interestingly with the nerve conduction tests they said that it appeared to be mainly axonal (with sensory symptoms) but the nerve biopsy revealed it was more demyelinative than axonal. Anyway, to make a long story short, I have had a lot of tests!!!!
