Default Could you be a bit more specific?

Or, better yet, get a copy of the test results and tell us exactly what it says?

Reason I ask is that skin biopsy, as opposed to nerve biopsy, typically does not sample myelinated nerves; it generally samples the microscopic "free" nerve endings, the small unmyelinated nerves that subsume the sensations of pain and temperature.

On the other hand, NON-length dependent neuropathic patterns are typical of the neuropathy of Sjogren's and some other neuronopathies/ganglioneuropathies:
