Hi Glentaj

Thanks for your comments -- yes, it is indeed called quantitative sensory testing, as this is the title at the top of my test results.

I was un-aware that a skin biopsy can also be used to verify smalll fibre neuropathy - next time I see the neuro I'll raise this with him. Thanks!

I agree with your comments about variability in test results from patient perception. I tried pretty hard to be consistent, but it was always difficult. I know that the computer controlling the test would re-test, and re-test until I was consistent in my responses.

Best wishes,
Steve
