--on the type of neurologist.

Most classically trained neurologists are not specialists in neuromuscular disorders or neuropathy; they tend to be more focused on stroke or epiilepsy of other central nervous system disorders.

It might make a difference to see a neurologist at a major research hospital or tertiary center who specializes in these areas--such people are also often researchers and are much more familiar with types of conditions and testing for them. They are found more often at major med centers--Cornell Weill/Columbia Presbyterian in NYC, Massachusetts General in Boston, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, The Jack Miller Center in Chicago, etc.
