@johnbishop thank you so much for the resources. I'll definitely check them out. Unfortunately I have seen a primary care doctor, 2 neurologists, and a rheumatologist and they can't seem to find a cause. I have had many tests and scans done as well as a skin biopsy but no real root cause. I had a positive ANA test which can indicate an autoimmune disorder but the neurologist also said it can be positive for healthy adults. I feel like there is still something there to investigate but the neurologists seem stumped at this point. not giving up on finding the cause or seeing what treatments might help.

I requested an appointment at Mayo Clinic but was turned down as they stated they have more requests than appointments available and based on what I have done so far they didn't know if they could do anything further. I was really disappointed by this decision as I know they are the best hospital in the world and hoped they could take what I had done so far and help me find a cause and solution to help.

I have neuropathy on my feet from unknown cause and a positive ANA as well and I was also turned down by Mayo and I am looking for a recommendation for a good Neurologist .

Oh my God , same thing happened to me . I have seen 2 neurologist and. Rheumatologist and my ANA was positive and was turned down by Mayo 3 times because too many requests . I feel the same way, there is something missing and no one want to take the time to investigate

@moakes My neuro doctor wanted to try IVIG infusions. My insurance denied me of it though because they don't allow it for polyneuropathy w/o an immune system problem. That treatment helps for neuropathy from an immune system problem. If ANA shows something then maybe you can get it? God bless you and will pray you get better.
