Default Actually, that "diagnosis"--

--is pretty inspecific.

All it really says is that you have neuropathy in many nerves, suggesting a systemic process (as opposed to a "mononeuropathy"--a "one-nerve" problem that is localized), and that both your motor and sensory nerves are affected. It further indicates that there seems to be problems with both the nerve fiber itself--the axon--and the myelin sheathing that covers the axon and helps to conduct signals.

Is there any indication of where they found greter/lesser problems--which bodily parts--or of the relative strength of conduction (usually indicated comparatively)? There can be clues in the NCV/EMG as to type/cause of neuropathy, but that generally takes a detailed analysis.
