My official DX is Idiopathic Polyneuropathy. When my local neuro referred me to the pain treatment center at Hopkins it was for diffuse large fiber neuropathic pain. I asked and it is large fiber because they ruled out SFN. I plan to talk to he docs up at hopkins when I'm up there in a couple weeks about additional tests to check for autonomic effects of PN as I'm having symptoms and the docs down here don't do any of the tests.
