Default Spinal tap results =

Clear.
No protein.

So now I need a nerve biopsy to check if the demyelination is perhaps CMT, or if its actually CIDP, or if its vascular.

She is taking it from the sural nerve, which is one that I have no response from on the EMG.
I already have a lot of numbness, and if it helps with the diagnosis, then I will do it.

2 nerves for sure had conduction blocks. (both sensory)
I don't know the rest of the findings, other than she said I did have slowing.

I asked her to mail me the results.
