With my pain getting worse, I cannot help but think if my specimen was mixed up with someone else's.
Has there been anyone who had a negative skin biopsy but later on re-tested and was positive? In this case, how many months should be the interval before getting another test (assuming doctor and insurance will allow).
Thank you.

It is possible to go undetected in early stages. However, it would be helpful if you had the actual numbers/percentile from the skin biopsy...which I don't think you do. I didn't get the numbers from mine either so would not be able to tell if progression is occurring or not.
Being that everyone is different and the causes/progression rates vary, it would be impossible to guess at how long between testing would be appropriate.
