Hi there DaveSP :)
Very sorry to hear of your dx of SFN.
I was dx'd via biopsy in Sept 2013 after 6 rounds of chemo (ending March 2013) and also being pre-diabetic. A month after chemo ended I was unable to walk without severe pain in my entire foot/feet. Even though I know what caused mine it really doesn't help 
My foot dr only took two skin samples from above my right ankle. My results were 0.0 and 0.06 so the dx was severe SFN.
I have all your symptoms plus some (my apnea was described by my dr as severely moderate....weird I thought). Yea for me right ? 
My blood tests also came back normal. Only the biopsy was positive.
I agree your sleep apnea is not causing your SFN dx.
I am under the care of pain mgmt. and take 1800 mg a day of gabapentin and ER Morphine 30 mg 2 times a day.
Glad you are here and please keep posting and let us know how it's going for you.
