Thank you so much for replying. He did say a negative biopsy doesn't mean I don't have it, but we'll see. That's awful that you're burning so much and your doctor won't give you a firm diagnosis. Have you had other tests for SFN? I read something about a sweat test.
I really want to know why my feet burn and tingle and why I have so many autonomic issues and why my backs so bad, but it's exhausting going through lots of testing...I have a feeling my doctor is going to send me for more tests and I do not think I'll hear back from him until next week.
Thank you again very much.
