Hello @maggie1960, Welcome to Connect. Hopefully your nerve conduction study on Sept 1st will help provide more information on the way to a specific diagnosis. Learning as much as you can about your condition will help you better advocate for your health and hopefully find a treatment that works for you. It sounds like you have that mind set already which is a great start. Here are a couple of websites you might want to bookmark for learning more about neuropathy:

-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/

You mentioned having a very low monoclonal protein level but the doctor said it doesn't signify Multiple Myeloma which is great. Does your doctor think there may be a connection with neuropathy and a low monoclonal protein level?
