I dont know the answers to all of your questions, but I have often
heard of doctors changing diagnosis of people who post on neuropathy
boards. It is more a process of elimation by having various tests. If
you go here www.lizajane.com you can see what tests should be given
for various types of PN. Did the EMG show what type of PN he has...it
should have if it came back positive for PN. Has your son been tested
for his b12 level and if so what were the numbers? Get copies of all of
the tests including blood tests that have been done on him. You will
have a record to take to future doctors you may go to as well as being
able to track patterns and in order to see what testing hasnt been
done...Good LUck
