Default Hey terrence :)

How about asking for a skin punch biopsy first ? If your other tests are normal it might be the small fibers that are causing the problem.

The test is very easy......a couple of 3mm skin punches (they deaden the area first) and then they cover it up with a bandaid.

Maybe ask for that before going to the lumbar puncture ?

I had the same tests as you and they were all normal until the skin biopsy. And it showed I had small fiber neuropathy.

Just a suggestion. Please keep us posted.
