You'd need to ask an immunologist if my theory has any merit...they would know. I just don't think it was a coincidence with the timing of the pneumonia and cessation of symptoms.

Thanks EnBloc - that is reassuring about the skin biopsy although I was wondering whether the initial pin price test may have been less accurate than when I have lots of pain.
It would be good to see an immunologist but my antibodies have only been equivocal/ normal to date. And I'm unlikely to be referred to one anyway. I emailed my gp about the worsening/ progression of nerve pain so he can think about it before my apt with him tomorrow as I only get ten minutes. Mat
