Default Good Morning meddle :)

Can you tell us a little more ? Are you are on any meds and how did they dx'd you ? With specific tests ?

I have small fiber neuropathy that was dx'd via skin punch biopsy last Sept. I'm also new at this.....been on the journey 11 months now. I do know what caused mine.....I have having chemo treatments of taxol/carbo and am type 2 diabetic.....my A1C spiked to 8.7 (which I don't think is really high) and the dr's feel that's what caused mine. But it took awhile and me actually having to ask for the skin punch biopsy before I had a good dx.

It's great that you stopped drinking and I know from reading posts here that it can damage the nerves.

Glad you found us and there will be more posters behind me that have a lot more experience with this than I do but they will need more info from you to help.

Doctors......isn't it nice when they actually get something right ? Scary but nice.

Take care,

Debi from Georgia
