Tests so far
MRI - head, neck, full back - all normal
EMG - right leg and left arm - came back with carpal tunnel in left arm
EEg - normal
Bloodwork - Ca, Mg, Potassium, glucose, iron, B12, copper, ANA, lyme, Igg, Iga, Igm, female hormones, testosterone, (some more I can't remember) - all normal
Urine - norepinephrine, cortisol - normal

...

Maybe someone who knows more than me about this can chime in, but my current understanding is that a skin biopsy is the only way of showing "clinical evidence" of SFN. All the other tests would be normal. Or am I misunderstanding?
