Too many doctors, even neuros, don't realize that there is truncal neuropathy, especially when the small fibers are involved.

Thanks glenn. My neuropathy came on body wide in a relatively short time as well, six weeks. I have also wondered about sfn, but still need a test to confirm it. I hope and pray that someday I might get better to the point to where I have flares now and then maybe, but otherwise not much pain. When I mentioned my burning back and stomach to the couple of neuros I saw, they didn't say much come to think of it. Just curious glenn in your case, when did you notice that you seemed to be getting better? I love hearing about any improvement on the forum.
