I saw a neurologist today. He is not ready to diagnose me with small fiber neuropathy. My current diagnosis is 'disturbance of skin sensation.' The doctor ran me through some neuro tests. All were fine, but one did have me worried. The doctor took a pin and poked my finger tips with it. I could feel how sharp it was. However, as he went down my legs I could feel the pin, but it was more blunt than sharp. He didn't seem overly concerned about it. I guess given what's going on in my feet it makes sense that I may have some change in sensitivity as indicated by the pin.
Doc ordered four blood tests today:
ANA by IFA Screen
Folate Serum
SED Rate Westergren
Vitamin B6
The doctor was able to calm me down somewhat. Yesterday, I was a wreck. Like I've said before, at this point it's just a waiting game. I'm trying to get back to my normal self.
