Hi Mamadebski, welcome.

Having no clue/idea what you may/may not already know, that's a tough one. I still ask my doctors questions, but they mostly have to do with answers I can't find online, and if I can't find the answer online, there's a distinct likelihood that the doctor doesn't know either.

One approach I (would) take is to research/learn as much as I can about my condition, and develop my list of questions from that research (things I don't understand or information that seems vague). I usually start with the obvious...

questions to ask doctor about small fiber polyneuropathy

...and go from there.

Quote:
My concern is the speed of progression of my neuropathy,
In your case, I would also try...

small fiber polyneuropathy speed of progression

Wikipedia is (IMO) another good starting point, followed up by links in their References and External Links and more credible/reputable sources. Since I've been on this site (NeuroTalk), I now include the archives in building my list and in the next step...

Time is limited, of course, so what starts out as a big honkin' list will have to be prioritized and pared down to something reasonable.



Doc
