glenntaj,
What are you doing to cause the re-enervation (healing).

FYI--When I went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 2007 they told me that they normally don't do the skin biopsy anymore because they can obtain the same info from other tests that indicate small fiber neuropathy. I believe this would be the vibration, cold sensation, and heat-pain sensation. My cold and heat-pain were abnormal so they concluded probably small fiber neuropathy.
