My neuropathy was "evaluated" by a neurologist and was dismissed the same way. An EMG and nerve conduction study was done which confirmed "diffuse neuropathy." I never complained about my arms being numb but the nerve conduction study confirmed neuropathy was present in my arms as well.

I asked what was causing the neuropathy. As I recall ... the answer was, "We don't know so it is idiopathic since I wasn't diabetic." I remember thinking if they didn't know what caused the neuropathy then they probably didn't how to stop the neuropathy.

Since getting off Prednisone, I swear the neuropathy is improving but I'm not completely sure. I mentioned doing another nerve conduction study to my primary care doctor to see if it was improving. The answer I received was, "As long as it is getting better there isn't any need to do another nerve conduction study." I guess I will never know why I have idiopathic polyneuropathy.

I even have foot drop from polyneuropathy that they say won't get any better at this stage. As a patient with foot drop they gave me an orthotic brace to wear to hold my foot up when I walk.
