Default I may stand to be corrected but.......

When I looked at the cup and saw it steaming, and my hand turning red, I realized I do have some loss of feeling. All hard to explain.
I think from what I understand, non-length dependent is all over the body, involving trunk, face, scalp, etc........which is what I have, I have had sensations, pain, pin pricks in every part of my body, except in my mouth. I do not have numbness or temperature problems though and no weakness or motor involvement (yet). I do get occasional muscle fasciculations though.

I am not sure though, if non-length dependent can involve large fiber or is limited to small fiber.

I also think mine must involve my memory......I think I recall asking this before and forgetting the answer, I think that is stress and being overwhelmed and misunderstood by my friends/family/doctors, it really takes a toll along with these symptoms, as I am sure you all know........
