I learned recently that there are 2 kinds of peripheral neuropathy; axonal and myelin, and 90% of cases are axonal, which are not treatable. Myelin neuropathy can be treated, see the treatments for CIDP, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. I've had a lumbar puncture, nerve conductivity and EMG tests. The labs on my Cerebro spinal fluid that was extracted via lumbar puncture all came back as "abnormal" but I don't know what if anything that means since I have to wait weeks and weeks to see my neurologist! VERY frustrating!
There is a new drug for CIDP called Vivgart, widely advertised on TV.

@ahimsa I deeply appreciate this valuable information that you have probided me. I have an MRI scheduled soon. The previous one had shown a small lesion, in the white matter-brain, revealing demyelination, so we’ll see how this one goes!
