the experience. Also maybe experience the joy's of PN! If only for an hour...

The plus side of going thru it all is that when those darling tests show something at least it proves, to a point, that it's NOT in our HEADS!

That all said and done, tests done do NOT always immediately show problem patterns. My guess is that the internal damage is either not complete or may be in the healing process. Small fiber neuropathies are often proven only thru biopsies, and results are valid ONLY when done under strict protocols. If those protocols aren't followed JUST SO, it's a waste of money and effort.

Further, there is research that indicates the room temp. where the test is conducted can adversely affect true nerve conduction results. Meaning if the room is too cold, you'll get good #'s when you shouldn't..[J. Kelly, Head Neuro Dept; G.W.U. Hosp.]. I'll see if I can dig up that paper-an interesting read.

Hope this puts your mind to ease, aside the fact that it probably should be gotten over with. - j
