OH, OK. I thought that my neuro (actually my neuro's PA over the phone) said that the EMG is to test for large fiber and the QSART is to test for small fiber neuropathy, so you can understand my confustion. Maybe she did say that or maybe I just misheard her. At any rate, she's the same one who has said more than once that maybe it's time to turn me over to a pain management clinic. That kind of ticked me off--I'm not ready yet to give up trying to figure out the cause of my P/N!

Thanks for that info too, Bob. I'm not supposed to see the neuro again until December (I last saw her in September). My PCP suggested that I see another practice that he recommended and we did set up an appointment for next week. I'm going to call right now to see if the new doctor specializes in P/N.
