Hi Doug, welcome.

Partly it depends on how rapidly (if at all) your symptoms are advancing. Most cases plateau at some point, but others are more aggressive, and those are the cases worth being more aggressive about (IMO). A second opinion never hurts, and confirmation may quell some uncertainty. Some folks who—for whatever reasons—choose to be more aggressive about diagnosis have found these sites helpful: http://www.questdiagnostics.com/test...ripheralNeurop www.lizajane.org Others of us who are less severe, and can live & function with where we are (neuropathy-wise) try to identify our triggers, find supplements that work for us (it's a trial & error process) and get on with our lives as best we can. One thing that has helped me cope—especially at the beginning—is awareness of the Kübler-Ross model as applied to chronic illness. Doc
