Hi Alberta,

It took probably 6 years before my initial symptoms of PN and the testing showed neuropathy. I had skin punch biopsies, EMGs, NCVs and other sensory testing. I have had most of my neurological testing at a Neurology Division of a teaching medical school. This has, at times, enabled testing which was not then yet available (or never available) to the public-at-large.

My neurologist has told me they don't do skin punch biopsies anymore. I was surprised. He says they can pick up more info via blood work now.

I hope your symptoms go away!

Some meds and other exposures can cause periodic neuropathy flares, etc. You have probably checked this all out on the PN forum.

I am not qualified to interpret any lab results and/or other testing results.
No need to take a picture of your results.

I'd suggest you learn all you can about centralized hypersensitivity. Learn about the role of excitotoxins in amplifying pain, and more. (Search here. MrsD mentions excitotoxins a lot.) Also learn about PN and be sure you have eradicated all known potential drug and/or environmental causes, etc.

I hope you find relief, and soon!

To our Healing,
DejaVu
