Hi. Thanks for your reply.

I could try to get a referral to Mayo clinic. My doctor might be able to get me into a neurologist where I live sooner, but if as you mention this is beyond the scope of a regular neurologist I may need to go to a larger hospital. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester is about three hours away. The problem will be getting the referral, paying for it all (I don't have good insurance), and also it will take a long time. But if you need to do this, you need to do this.

Do you know if MRIs can show body wide peripheral neuropathy of autoimmune or toxic origin? I know they can show MS. But are these things a neurologist would look for on his own, or should I come in with a list? I find doctors become difficult if you suggest anything to them...
