Next is the HAE (hereditary angioedema) evaluation in a few months, if the recent full body swelling I had comes back after the discontinuance of the blood pressure medication, culprit.
This will require an immunologist.

Hi Mrs. D. I am wondering how the doctors knew for sure that it was your hypothyroidism that caused your neuropathy.
I wonder why my doctors didn't tell me my hypothyroidism could be the cause of my SFN. I've had hypothyroidism for about 20 years and have taken synthyroid all of that time. I didn't know that alone could be a cause for neuropathy. I was dx'd with hashimotos 2 years ago. Am I right that hashimotos is the same as hypothyroidism?
Could this actually be the cause of my SFN?
Thanks, Hopeful
