I'm not entirely sure the PN is causallly linked to the sweating, but the study you link to is provocative! Thanks.

I thought I had sensory nerve damage.
"Smaller sensory fibers without myelin sheaths transmit pain and temperature sensations. Damage to these fibers can interfere with the ability to feel pain or changes in temperature."

I was hoping I didn't also have autonomic nerve damage.
"Common symptoms of autonomic nerve damage include an inability to sweat normally..."

Progression of sensory nerve damage can be annoying but it sounds as if worsening autonomic nerve damage can lead to much more serious health problems.
