Default Is SFN the right diagnosis ????

So got told I have SNF a week ago, neuro had previously said I have objective neuro signs positive hoffman and romberg tests, brisk reflexes,that was back in dec 13. All blood tests nerve tests and MRI since then are normal. Hence the SNF diagnosis, I have had no tests of any type since dec. my symptoms started in my right arm dull aching pins and needles spreading hen to left arm, face then feet and now also legs and areas on torso.
The tingly face is v annoying and is now effecting my eyelid which feels like it's not opening properly is this common with SFN ?
My neuro offered no advice or information I fact he clearly wasn't interested after he told me it was nothing nasty like MS just SFN.

So do I try and get some repeat/ more tests or accept this diagnosis, I can see I have many SFN symptoms all be it not a typical feet first presentation, but I just aren't quite happy with him not looking further at a cause or in fact doing a skin biopsy to prove its is in fact SFN. He did not like me trying to question him at all :/

Sorry for all the questions
