--welcome to Neurotalk. Good to see you here (and I won't rest until I get all of the members of that support group to visit on a regular basis).

Have you been over to the peripheral neuropathy section of the board yet?

Mel and I, and a lot of other stalwarts, do much of our posting there, and the Useful Websites section at the top of the page has a lot of, well, useful information (and you'll recognize the much of the material from my presentation at the last meeting from one of my long posts there).

I vaguely remember one or two people in the past talking about having gone to Washington University for work-ups, though I believe it was quite a while ago. A considerably greater number have been worked up at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, or Cornell-Weill in NYC, and some at Massachusetts General in Boston and Jack Miller in Chicago, and Jacksonville Shands in Florida (all neuropathy "centers of excellence"), as well as some at the various Mayo Clinics.
