Based on my symptoms I am pretty certain I have sensory SFN. What I wondering about now is if I also have autonomic SFN.
My nerve conduction test was clear as well. I passed most of the normal tests. For SFN they have to dig deeper...literally...with a punch biopsy. Not the worst experience really. Just find a new neurologist and demand a skin punch biopsy. It took me 4 neuros to find one who did the test for me. I ended up being right in the end.

I have found the supplement l-citrulline helps with the burning in the extremities.
