I know alot of us have SFN and many of the posts are about diabetes or pre-diabetes . Supposedly mine is post infectious after viral infection. But I never get any response about any of my issues. People will ask vit. levels but when I mentioned about elevated WBC in crebral spinal fluid after the first year of being sick, no in put. Sorry I sound so mean and angry, but I guess I am, as there has not been any relief from this hell I live for the past 10 yrs. Cbar

I am sorry, but evaluating WBCs, or protein in the CSF is a highly specialized and technical thing. So therefore, it is up to the doctors to advise you. Some infectious thing in the brain is beyond the scope of us here.
Diabetes and impaired glucose utilization is very common and so naturally more people have this problem. This is a medical site link that explains CSF testing results. Has a table showing WBC numbers and what they mean. http://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0915/p1103.html If you were given fluoroquinolone antibiotics for your sinuses, be advised that these can cause PN. It is unclear today, if this is reversible. (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox). Also if you used a netti pot with unsterilized water, or if you swam in unclean waters, you could have an infection in your sinuses that is very difficult to get rid of. The organism is called mycobacterium chelonae and can come from tap water, or any other source. It is being found in US patients with antibiotic resistant sinus infections. more about it here: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/222790-overview more on the neti pot: http://www.webmd.com/allergies/news/...-nasal-washing
