There are autoimmune antibodies that circulate in the blood.
Some of them can be measured.

There are also markers for certain cancers. Some cancers cause
neuropathy symptoms. This is called paraneoplasia.

So when you get the results get copies of it, and then we can try and explain more fully. Glenntaj here is our testing expert, and he knows far more about this subject than I do. He has had umpteen tests over the years, and understands them very well.

But there are over 100 causes of neuropathy. Some doctors don't test for them all.

Here is an example of Dr. Latov's LONG list...he is an expert in NY.
