Sheltiemom,

Are the tests you mentioned just a matter of more blood taken and sent off? I'm quite sure I have not had those tests either. My ins. makes me use Labcorp so I would hope they could analyze as well.

The doctor at JH has pretty much treated me the same way. After a positive SFN from the skin biopsy, he sent me back home. He did follow up with a report and the possibility that my B6 (which was elevated at 117 at the time) or a one-time high glucose tolerance test could be the cause of the SFN. But I have had both retested and everything is normal, but my SFN is worse.

I emailed him back some 8 months later and he had me confused with some other patient. Once he got that straight, he suggested a nerve biopsy but based on input from most on this site you should avoid due to further damage.

Thanks for the info. Tom
