Just curious...did you get the actual results of your skin biopsy? If not, you should, just to see what (if any) notations were made in regards to morphology/condition of the fibers. Also to see what percentile the density is at and whether it is borderline. Doctors are quick to just report a 'normal' finding when in fact that details of results can be more telling.
They believe I now have psoriatic arthritis...with a SED rate of 100 and migratory swollen joints (fingers and now knees) and achilles tendon problems. I also have confirmed bone marrow swelling in the sacro-iliiac joints of the hips which is supposed to be another indicator. But it's a process to get a confirmed Dx of Psoriatic Arthritis without the psoriasis (although I did have a rash with the last swelling, but they didn't assess it). But I can say that most of my joints hurt and my neuropathy pain has been worse in the last 6-9 months since the joint swellings started.
