Hi Debbie, Thought I would jump in for Chris @artscaping to share some information I found that may answer your question.

"What is sural nerve biopsy for?
According to literature, sural nerve biopsy provides the most useful results in interstitial neuropathies, such as vasculitis, granulomatosis, amyloidosis, or atypical forms of CIDP (7, 22).

Thank you @johnbishop for noticing and responding! As you both know, our brains are constantly swirling with information as we try to narrow down what exactly we might or might not have based on the types of tests we have or haven’t had, as we all try to experiment and hone in on what works best for us individually. You and @artscaping have been such a wealth of knowledge, experience, and inspiration. I feel better prepared each time I have an appointment, and as we all know, they don’t come about that frequently. Thanks again!
