Question Question about skin biopsy

I am halfway through my EMG/NCV testing . . . and my doctor said that my feet, done on Thursday, appear pretty normal. He said that it may be that I will need a skin biopsy to make any further determinations . . . oh, goody! (I have my hands tested today, and with some very prominent carpal tunnel symptoms, I expect some findings on my hands today.)

Has anyone had the skin biopsy done and what is it like? Who does this test?

I am up to 1500mg of Neurontin so far, and at the most, there might be a slight decrease in intensity of symptoms, but they certainly have not gone away. In fact, it is hard to tell. I am sure my neurologist will want to know at the follow-up on Monday how I am doing. What do you tell a doctor when you are not sure? Should I have some idea if the Neurontin is working or not yet . . . after being on it now for a full month?
