Default Billye, I searched for a definition....

but, found lots of doctor double-speak.
I did find this site tho...
www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/324/7335/466
If you scroll down a bit, there is a picture/graph that shows normal, demeyelinating and axonal nerve conduction studies and the differences. They sure do seem different! Of course the menu of viable treatments is, as ever, 'limited' at best.
I am crossing fingers and legs [can't do toes, sorry] that they mite try you on one round of IVIG to see if you get any relief at all. Of course, if you do..ask away about the pros, cons, s/e's, complications, costs, any and all-just name it! Hope it's worth a shot, at least! I for one am not sure which is better...my monthly infusions of 'nanobots' or chocolate. Pure heaven is both at the same time!
Hugs and warm breezes to you for now - j
