--I consider this old news.

Most of us here certainly know it--it's just too bad that most physicians (at least those who are not specialists--and even some of those) don't.

After all, in our stickies, there's a LOT of info on neuropathy diagnostic protocols, with very similar recommendations, that have been around a while:

Makes you wonder why we know this stuff and so many docs don't.
