I don't know if I've even had all the tests you mentioned, but I have SFSN diagnosed by skin punch biopsy.
Just received the very last of the bloodwork tests after having many on this hunt for a cause over the months, and they were all normal. Including intrinsic AB block (determine if B12 is being absorbed). Plus had these during the past months:
1. Acetylcarnitine/carnitine
2. COQ10 total
COQ10 Reduc
COQ10 Oxid
COQ10 % Reduced
COQ10: Chol
3. ESR by Westergren
4. Serum B12
5. Vitamin B6
6. Vitamin D
7. Vitamin D3
8. Vitamin B1
9. Catecholamines:
Epinephrine (by plasma)
Norepinephrine (by plasma)
Dopamine (by plasma)
10. Folate, TSH, T4 free/free thyrox
11. Monoclonal Prot. Bld.
12. Complete Metabolic
13. ANA Panel Blood Screen
14. C-reactive protein
15. ACE/Angiotensin Bld.
16. Anti-ENA ID
17. HU AUTOANTIBODY Bld.
18. SYPHILIS IGG WITH CONF. (sqsyphgx)
19. Cryoglobulin Bl.
20. LYME
21. Rheumatoid Factor BL.
22. Anti-Neutro Cyto AB
23. Vitamin E/Tocopherol
24. Anti GM1 Triad
25. HIV RNA viral load (not suspicious for this - just did it because it can cause neuropathy)
26. LUMBAR PUNCTURE
27. CT Chest w/contrast - normal
28. Neoplastic panel to Mayo Clinic to rule out malignancy anywhere.
Everything normal except for slight hypothyroidism and the SFSN by biopsy.
Today, I reached the probable end of the diagnostics trail. Will have to adjust to this, knowing no cause was found.
Hope a cause is found for you!
Best wishes,
Sheltiemom
