Hey there janieg :)

Has anybody had any luck going from idiopathic to a known underlying cause? As I've read something 50% of all cases of SFSN are idiopathic, there must something big they're missing.
Hello Janie 
Confirming my dx was what drove me crazy. I wanted to know what type of neuropathy I had. I was pretty sure it was due to being pre-diabetic and then having 6 rounds of chemo (taxol/carbo) since the sudden and horribly painful onset was almost exactly a month after chemo ended.
I asked a foot and ankle dr I had seen 2 times to do a skin punch biopsy and he did.....severe small fiber neuropathy.
Most of the dr's I've seen chalk it up to diabetes so who knows ?
Take care and keep us posted.
