I am posting the following link to a news article on yahoo. I have been involved in some work on pursuing a genetic etiology for my situation, I just want people to know that the test mentioned in this article is not it. There are far more disease specific tests. Many genetic diseases are diagnosed by genetic testing. When I first saw they were offering these genome wide tests I was excited, but after I saw they only identified some common diseases, my enthusiasm for them went down the drain. This article is quite correct, save your money...these tests are not the answer. Medical genealogy accomplishes a lot. I have done one and got some very interesting information, however it is extremely time consuming and you do need to really educate yourself. It isn't easy.

There are many hereditary neuropathies and myopathies that include peripheral neuropathy as a component. These tests will not help with identifying those. Even your ethnicity may be very vague on some of these tests, so be careful with your dollars. Website below.
