You're welcome.

Unfortunately, neither of those statements are correct. I mean, perhaps most people will have burning pain, especially with SFN, but that will certainly not be their only symptom. That's simply false. In fact, I barely have mild burning once in a blue moon, but have all sorts of other symptoms. If you read through the posts on this forum, you'll get a sense for the many different symptoms people experience with SFN or even plain old PN.

As for the second statement, if a neurologist made such an idiotic statement, then he/she is precisely that, an idiot. Neuropathy will most often present in the distal regions, so feet and hands, but not necessarily, especially in SFN. Mine is whole body and I'm not the only one on here with this presentation. There are numerous articles online, on PubMed, discussing full-body small fiber neruopathy (SFN).
