Default Skin Biopsy Results

My neurologist office called me this morning to let me know that my skin biopsy was positive for small fiber neuropathy. They asked me to come to the office tomorrow for more specific blood work that they send to a specific lab called Athena.

I didn’t speak to the doctor, but the woman that called said that the small fiber neuropathy is responsible for the tingling, pain, numbness and dysautonomia (including gastroparesis). I asked the woman who called about the cause and she said that the doctor would talk to me about that when I come in for my appointment Feb. 15. They should also have the additional blood work at that time.

I wonder what additional tests they would need. Apparently I have to sign off for them. I already had a bunch a lab tests last week.
