Whew....that was a read for me. I went back on my neurontin and have temporarily lost control of my cognitive functioning....beats losing control of some other functions.....this too shall pass, I hope.

Now small fibers are 'thinly myelinated or unmyelinated'...and the C fibers are...I forgot, one of the two.

Sarah Mae, the small fiber nerves also are active in proprioception which is how we feel our bodies in space. If we don't get the proper feedback to the brain, we do not know where our 'parts' are in space. This also contributes to postural changes, and changes in our joints, which can cause injuries and arthritis.

I sometimes do not feel my legs below the knee, yet I can move them perfectly fine. Other times it feels like I am walking on a mattress, or huge bubble wrap. If I put my foot on something, like a chair support...I feel that feeling for 15 minutes after I take my foot off.

I have NO large fiber neuropathy and my EMGs are perfectly normal.

I have autonomic and sensory neuropathy....but it feels like my movement or motor is affected.

I think lots of posters explained things pretty well, given neuropathy is rather mysterious.

Foo, I lost my remote again.......
