Default 30 year old male SNF?need help

Hi

So I have been dealing with this issue for the last 6 weeks,and I am looking for advice/help from this community.

So basically my issue started off as a one of twitch on my thumb in the middle of December I work shift 12hours days/night,anyway whilst sitting at my desk my left thumb started to twitch I have never had that before and shook my hand after a little while this subsided.Fast forward to the end of the first week of January.I had just got out of bed to go to my night shift had a shower whilst getting ready I felt my whole body tingly/buzzing,This lasted for a day or 2 whole body tingling sensation...this than subsided and I started to get an itchy feeling on my body:legs,chest,arms,hands it felt deep inside my skin not on top..I had my wife check for any rash but ther was nothing,we put it down to maybe a reaction of some kind,after a few days again this subside but the slight tingling feeling stayed in my hands and to a extent my feet.So now we are in the second week or January I’m driving my car and I’ve felt this sharp prickly feeling in my right hand which than went to my left hand over a few days..the way I can describe is a sharp prickly sensation and also like a electric sensation which comes and goes all through the day with the slight tingle hands/fingers.I also delevoped this in my feet but not as severe.I tried not to worry and thought it will pass but it has not,so last week I thought il google my symptoms and see what comes up...It start mentioning PN or SFN which made my anxiety go up to 100!!!in that time I started to delevope whole body twitching in random places I’m sure I had this condition,blood test done B12 392 doctor said was normal..only thing came up was vitamin D deficiency everything was normal,I requested my doctor to refer me to a neurologist but the waiting on NHS is weeks/months..so yesterday I went to see a private neurologist in London who is a specialist in PN/SFN after telling him all my symptoms he does not think I have this condition..he said he sees patient with PN/SFN everyday and my symptoms don’t match..I don’t have constant pain like every second 24/7 or thankfully no burnining pain or shooting pain in my arms legs he did give me a diagnose of hypersensitive something,I can’t remember the full name,he also did a examination on me and my reflexes and feelings were fine.he said this will go over time and also prescribed me a small course of Pregabalin which he said should calm everything..my wife also asked him if “my husbands nerves are damaged”he said No.can someone please tell me if you think his right or does anyone have similar symptoms to mine.All my symptoms progressed within 1 and a half weekk.no gradual progression.they say symptoms get worse over time I’m only 6 weeks into this and scared symptoms will progress cold is also a big trigger when I’m driving at to work in the early morning or evening the sharp prickly pains come on more intense..I do trust the neurologist and the way he was very reassured I didn’t have SFN..can someone in this community help me does my symptoms sound like SFN?any advice will be appreciated
