Default What is a nerve conduction block exactly??

I was wondering if I have what is known as a nerve conduction block.

If I do then it rules out CMT, and rules in CIDP. (these are the last 2 things I am down to in my testing)

I've been through all the blood test.. *except the Athena diagnostics test*

So.. here is something from my EMG, and I am wondering if its a conduction block?
OR no?

And if not, then what one is?

"The sural sensory response is absent".
Does that mean that I have a conduction block?


Sorry for all the questions lately, but this is my life.. literally.
The difference between being told I have CMT and CIDP would be if I can get treatment or not.

And my mother refuses to have an EMG done.

I googled conduction block : conduction block a blockage in a nerve that prevents impulses from being conducted across a given segment although the nerve beyond is viable.

Given that I had zero response is it safe to say that what I have then is a conduction block?

Which then means that I have CIDP, which the makes sense why they are testing me the way they are.

(spinal tap, EMG #4, And possibly nerve biposy)

Well, I guess I should count my blessings.
There are treatment options for CIDP.
