I'm not too clear on what's going on, but I will say that in my experience a diagnosis of fibromyalgia is a garbage bin diagnosis, so a diagnosis indicating that the physician just doesn't know what's going on. For a very long time, cases of small fiber neuropathy were misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. The neurologist Dr. Oaklander has said that something like 50% of cases of the latter were actually the former. So if possible, I'd at least push for a skin punch biopsy, if you think you may have neuropathy that hasn't shown up on a nerve conduction study. But again I'm not too clear on what's going on with you. Either way, I wish you the best of luck!

And I can have emotional issues in it. I didnt know that fibromylgia is a kind of neuropathy. Also I read before that psychogenic state cant cause neuropathy but could aggravate it. Sorry for my english and weird post but just stuff to complement the post
