First consultation with neurologist

I’d like to comment on a first neurologist appointment for SFN.
Nobody has mentioned that a persons blood, specifically IGG should be checked because if it is higher than a normal range of 1600, it could mean that a blood disease may be present. If anyone is interested in commenting further- I’d be available to discuss.

Agreed. But I’d hope that would be at the top of the “to do” list for any neurologist...if not, I’d change neurologists fast! My neurologist suspected that I had autoimmune PN, and ordered labs addressing the common causes of neuropathy, including A1, IgG and other serum protein tests, folate, vitamin B12, etc. My results revealed a third autoimmune disease I have (in addition to the two others already diagnosed), called Sjogren’s Syndrome, which can cause PN.
