Well, I've had enough history with anxiety issues to tell you that anxiety can mimic virtually any symptom you can imagine. However, in most cases anxiety will wax and wane - and the symptoms along with it. This is just my opinion, but I think that constant symptoms over a period of years is unlikely to be "just" caused by anxiety.
At the same time, I also believe that stress and anxiety can play a large role for many people with SFN (primarily the ideopathic ones). So, along with all the other things you need to do to find out what the cause is and how to treat it - please work on the stress/anxiety issues in your life - as difficult as it may be. It can't hurt - and you may find it very beneficial.
