However - my SGNFD number in the thigh was significantly reduced (29.2) which was like one strike for SFN. Then I had a QSART test ( http://my.clevelandclinic.org/servic...-testing/qsart here is a description) which also showed reduced sweat production in the thigh (which matched the skin biopsy SGNFD results). Did you also have SGNFD done with your biopsy? I guess what I am trying to say is that there are other ways to come to the same diagnosis! |

I also went to a Cleveland Clinic neurologist who agreed with my local neuro that occasional axonal swellings weren't enough to DX me with PN and that they can occur in asymptomatic people. The only sweat testing I had done was one where I was hooked up to a monitor that measure sweat in response to a sudden fright. It wasn't a biopsy or SGNDT that I know of.
