Default I need some new insights

I need your help.... in a couple of weeks I am going back to a new neuro.
I was in her office just a week ago and after I tolt het my story she ordered a couple of blood test I am not sure which once but i think she re-testing everything her collegue who is a professor and was my first neuro.
She also ordered a MRI to scan of my back.
She also tested my reflexes...both legs high reflexes,righ higher then left
Arms almost no reflex I dont know if that is good or bad,I am not sure if the arms should give a high reflex?or it was normal I dont know

The proffesor I visted 1.5 years ago had his doubts that I could have small fiber neuropathy from the dapsone I used to take.

So when visiting this new neuro I told her that I felt my toes getting numb very fast this all happend for my feeling in about 2 mouths or so.
I still have feeling in them but its allot less.

There is a difference between my left and right side.
Left foot and hand are worser off then right.
My acapuncturist has said a couple of times that he thought it could be of a compression neuropathie without saying that it came from my back or that it looked like a tarsaaltunnel syndrome.

For me this means only two things ...I have nerve that is compressed in my back(but i never had any back pain) or lyme because its so asymmetrical but I have never been tested positive...never.

Interresting pionts to mention is I used to have symptomes like ants walking over my lower legs...this is almost gone except for my foot soles.
Secondly almost no tingeling in my feet anymore but I cant make out if this is a good sign or not my feet still feel terrible with numbnes extending from my toes into my fore feet.



Hands have improved the last year going form pain in my fingers to pain in the top of my fingers to no pain.Just a little bit of stiffnes ...it liks like CTS but it is not because nothing shows up at my EMG this make sence if you have a small fiber neuropathy.

The last couple i had some night sweats however I feel ok dont feel sick but i am sure these night sweats have something to do with what I am experiencing lately.

To go back to the test my last neuro did
All the test where ok except for something with my kidneys

So what should I ask this new neuro I am a little bit to the end of my rope with this hole thing
So if I get my results and nothing shows up agian what should I ask her to investigate?
