Default That strep infection prior to--

--hints at an autoimmune molecular mimicry reaction in which an activated immune system targeted whatever nerve components were shaped similarly to the offending pathogen, but that is not necessarily the casue of your neuropathy, as there are so many.

But, agreeing with en bloc, it does seem you would need a work-up directed at cause finding, if that's possible at this stage, and not just testing documenting the extent of the neuropathy. We feel that the following sites provide at least a decent guide (and the first involves spreadsheets that are a good way to track test results over time and look for patterns):
