Winge as much as your like, no one here is going to mind, most of us have been through similar circumstances.
Its your damaged small fibre nerves that are making you feel like this, they can do a skin or nerve biopsy to check out damage but it won't tell them what is causing it.
I must sound like a broken record
but you must find a neuro that is a PN specialist, a lot of neuro's will give you the basic tests and thats as far as you will get, if nothing is found you will get the label of idiopathic Neuropathy and just be given drugs to TRY kill the pain and told to go home and they will say there is nothing we can do for you, there is over 200 known reasons for PN an good neuro that is a PN specialist will keep on testing until they hopefully find the cause.
Any wonder patients get frustrated with medical dills that can't even work out if someone is diabetic or not, a normal gp should be able to diagnose diabetes with no problems at all, a 3 -5 hour Glucose tolerance test would sort out if your prediabetic or not.
I suggest that you go to Liza Janes website
http://www.lizajane.org/ download the charts to Excell, then get copies of all your tests you have had so far, fill them in the charts, post them onto the forum for the experts to look them over.
Even if you just copy of all tests you have had so far and post them on the forum , this might be a good starting point at least.
good luck
