John thank you for this information. I reviewed the link with my wife last night and we noticed there are 2 common tests conducted for Peripheral Neuropathy: 1/ Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test, and 2/ Electromyography (EMG) test. She had an EMG about 2 months ago which the Dr. said indicated "irritated nerve". But she did NOT have an NCV test which "measure signal strength and speed along specific large motor and sensory nerves". Would a Neurologist order such a test ? That's the path we are going down currently.
