I was tested for this. Came back with positive antibodies to acetylcholine ganglionic receptors. Did a PET scan that was negative for cancer. I don't think pareoneoplastic testing is done in an initial neuropathy workup, but they think about it when other causes are crossed off the list.

Interestingly, I have had benign muscle twitching for about 6 yrs, along with both SFN and length-dependent neuropathy for the last 13 yrs. Taking magnesium does take the frequency down a few notches.
