Let's see what Glenn has to say.
is it only with SFN that hair stops growing on the affected areas such as legs and arms? i have long fiber sensory motor PN confirmed by emg/ncs since 2001. i have never looked into subsequent small fiber involvement though i have suspected it. I didnt see the point since i had a cause and it changed nothing treatment wise. i have no hair on my legs below the knee and little from the knee up. i have less hair on the back of my hands than i used to also.
