Yeah you right , I tough the same about he think is risky the nerve no the skin biopsy. I guess I just dont have the biopsy yet is for the difficult to get, but is possible on my "state" just expensive and here doctors go first for QST but i read is much better the biopsy... About full work up for autoimmune diseases, don't know maybe if you give a name example... If is something very weird to do most probably no (most probably Health insurances does not cover something very weird/expensive; some that doctor give me and for that reason didnt do yet are : "
AC Anti MAG, AC Anti Sulfatido, AC Anti GD1b")

In my experience was mostly psychiatrists who said that (of which I have had very bad feelings through the years)

I also have had history of anxiety and depression, but mostly about that. Also I had other sad symtoms that (like this) didnt have diagnosis or treatment, like annoying tongue pain for more than a decade (few years ago I was told it was for a trauma habit with the teeths - in internet say its anxiety, even almost all doctors i visited didnt recognized this problem :/ but now I feel much better) Acne, I was treated with Isotretinoin after several years of comings and goings...
When the neuropathic pain back two years ago I was very stressed and depressed for these other health problems ( I have those worst than ever despite 10 years of effort visiting doctors
But those problems eventually resolved) Also I was very frustrated to have sensitive to cold in parts of my body (feets, hands, parts of the legs cold to touch) but I also wasnt diagnosed with something for this. For this I have had a lot of insomnia , anxiety and depression in the past; so I have history of bad health but dont know if bad lucky or what, I never smoke, drink, did physical training all those years, visited several doctors, I have had good family, so dont know...
And thanks for the tips.

Best of luck getting to the bottom of what's going on!
