He said no, it had to have been there in the first place and maybe the repetitive strain just flared it.

Anyway so much for that theory. I guess theorizing doesnt help anyway. I just really like reasons and can't stand not being able to figure this out. I'm coming to terms, but not giving up.

I asked him if he's ever seen anyone with small fiber neuropathy and dyautonomia get better and he said Yes!!!
He is the second dr who said he has seen it reverse. I hear so many people say there doctors only say that it progresses or stays the same. I am hopeful. So hopeful!!!
