After 15 years i probably also have some small fiber involvement but have never been tested for that. it wouldnt make a difference in life style or treatment at this point to have it confirmed. Your electromyography (emg) nerve conduction study (NCS) may give you some answers as to whether you have any large fiber motor nerve involvement

Thanks Echoes. I'm fretting because I'm in for quite a long wait for my NCS as my neurologist wants me to see the consultant rather than only have the tests done. Could be a 3-4 months wait. So I'm left wondering if the tests are likely to show anything new because I had it done 20 months ago and nothing at all showed up. I think my lack of reflex response in arms is new and I think my arm heaviness on both sides is getting worse too. How is yours treated?
