I went to my neurologist today to sign the consent form for testing through Athena Labs. Fortunately, I was able to see my doctor briefly and he said he is testing for additional AI and "inflammatory" markers, and also amyloidosis (hereditary and non-hereditary).

I received a copy of my skin biopsy test and it reads 3.70 (normal is 5.7 for calf). It states "skin with significantly reduced epidermal nerve fiber density, consistent with small fiber neuropathy". The thigh reading was normal which is good I suppose.

Amyloid testing was normal on the skin biopsy - guess he just wants to be sure.
