My neuro believes my SFN is most probably caused by my auto-immune system going haywire. I have not had many tests, mostly a bunch of blood tests which haven't shown anything yet. I do go back to my neuro docs in early December, so maybe he will have some new info for me then. They probably won't ever find it, my insurance coverage will not pay for endless testing. And after 2 years at Mayo, I am tapped out for cash for medical purposes.

I am going to an acupuncturist who thinks she can possibly heal some of the nerves with needles and electrical stimulation. I only go because a dear friend is paying for it and she really wants me to give it a try. The electrical stimulation has proved to be difficult because I cannot feel it and then it hurts too much when she barely turns it up. It has proved difficult to find a good setting. The electrical stimulation seems to trigger my dystonia which causes my legs to twitch and that hurts real bad when you have a bunch of needles in your legs!

So onward I go! LOL
