Skin biopsy for small fiber neuropathy
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to neurotalk and am trying to learn more about peripheral neuropathy and small fiber neuropathy. (I apologize in advance if I don't get all the terminology right. I'm still trying to learn it all).
Has anyone else had a skin biopsy done to assess for a peripheral neuropathy? If so, did anyone have normal nerve cell counts but mildly abnormal sweat gland counts?
My doctor thinks that this could be indicative of small fiber neuropathy, but he is still a little baffled by it since all of my blood tests came back normal and the never cell counts came back normal. Has anyone else experienced this on their skin biopsy? I've tried researching this on my own, but unfortunately haven't feel like I keep hitting roadblocks cause I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Any info would be so helpful.
