Hence the SNF diagnosis, I have had no tests of any type since dec. my symptoms started in my right arm dull aching pins and needles spreading hen to left arm, face then feet and now also legs and areas on torso.
The tingly face is v annoying and is now effecting my eyelid which feels like it's not opening properly is this common with SFN ?
My neuro offered no advice or information I fact he clearly wasn't interested after he told me it was nothing nasty like MS just SFN.

So do I try and get some repeat/ more tests or accept this diagnosis, I can see I have many SFN symptoms all be it not a typical feet first presentation, but I just aren't quite happy with him not looking further at a cause or in fact doing a skin biopsy to prove its is in fact SFN. He did not like me trying to question him at all :/

Sorry for all the questions
It sounds like the issue with your eyelid is Horner's Syndome.....if you find that eyes pupil does not dilate like the other eye and if you also find that you do not sweat on the side of your face where the eyelid is drooping, that is possible Horner's. I was told that it does not have long term adverse affects but shows there is nerve damage that affects that part of your face/eye.
