I am having some tests done to confirm Sarcoidosis as my diagnosis so that we may start treatment.

Are you doing anything else besides EMG/NCV...blood tests for specific immune diseases, skin biopsy to check for small fiber neuropathy etc.? Do you have any other health issues besides neuropathy? That could point to a diagnosis/tests.

Keep going, something will eventually come back positive.
Hi chamade. I am actually going to the neuro tomorrow and will find out some more results on blood work and MRI's. I also want to ask about a skin biopsy. Woke up this morning hurting so bad. At least I know though, everyone here knows how I feel. I hate this.
