Are there many of you without numbness and tingling that have been diagnosed with snf? I feel like my neuro was just throwing out an initial dx of snf because she didnt know what else to say when i asked her what she thought was wrong. I have my nerve cond test next month, then see the neuro again in July. I really want to know what's going on with me. This has been a very long almost 6 yrs now.

Thank you for any insight anyone may have!!
I've been diagnosed with sfn and have never had tingling or numbness. My worst symptom has been burning on the soles of my feet; also prickling feelings on my arms, "folded sock" sensation, feeling of cold draft on legs, one and/or both hands being icy, and patches of baldness on legs with cooler skin temp and loss of light touch sensation in the bald areas. Also autonomic symptoms, mainly sweating abnormalities. So no, I don't think numbness and tingling are required!
