Yes, I've considered, but I've had a full-blown neurological work-up by a very well-respected head of neurology at another Baltimore hospital. When I considered getting a second opinion from Hopkins, I found this when looking into it. Given that I fall into this category, I opted not undergo more drama at that time.

Johns Hopkins Neurology and Neuromedicine: Small Fiber Sensory Neuropathy

"A small percentage of patients with SFSN experience sub-acute onset sensory disturbances diffusely over the whole body, including the trunk and sometimes even the face. These patients have non-length-dependent SFSN and almost all cases are idiopathic."
