I have been diagnosed with IgM MGUS and neuropathy in both feet started 1 year ago and has progressed to include my lower calves. ECS and EMG tests reveal sensory neuropathy.
I’ve been to 2 neurologists
. 1st one did the ECS and EMG tests and said he could do no more and said i should seek another neurologist. 2nd Dr. ordered
Paraneoplastic blood test.
Will this blood test diagnose DADS-M which i think is the cause?

Hello @3charlie, Welcome to Connect. There is some information on the test but I'm not sure it will answer your question specifically.
-- Paraneoplastic syndromes of the nervous system: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/paraneoplastic-syndromes/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355691

Since you mentioned IgM and neuropathy, you might find it helpful to scan through the other discussions on IgM and neuropathy. Here's a link that lists the discussions and comments from members - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=Igm+neuropathy.

Are you able to ask your doctor specifically what he is looking for in the results of the Paraneoplastic blood test?
