Doesn't this mean one does not have neuropathy?

Let's start a club!! Both of join first!!! Lol

We are two of a kind, that's for sure!

A quote from my neuro yesterday..........

"You have neurological symptoms, for which I can find no neurological cause"

Now, I ask you.....how is one supposed to react to that one?!

Well this is when it gets crazy. My Neuro told me disease can happen else where and create toxins for nerves. Like celiac! Even people with thyroid have these symptoms. So he told me you start investigating other possibilities but it gets crazy.

You are checking Paraneoplastic.

Like for me nephrologist is next as in need to investigate chronic blood in urine without infections.

But, it still can be deficiencies or reaction to some meds.
I know your thought process right now. We are in the same place with this. Going thru things it can be. And it's frustrating. But I am happy there is no real damage. As biopsy and Emg are normal.

Take care

--but one can still get a diagnosis of neuropathy--likely "idiopathic"----if responses to manual nerve testing (which includes pin prick, reflex, and in some cases, monofilament testing), or results on quantitative sensory or abnormal testing (i.e, sudomtor axon reflex test, sweat test, Valsalva maneuver, tilt table) are abnormal. Admittedly, with some of this, one relies on the patient's reports in the absence of "harder, more objective" results.

Then, too, some docs won't give the diagnosis without such "harder, more objective" results.

Glad I'm not the only one. My Dx is Idiopathic Polyneuropathy, which means many peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction simultaneously and no one knows why.

As I read your threads , you see that idiopathic is when doctors doesn't search. If you do all exams then you have the diagnosis..
