I was dx'd with SFN in Sept 2013 after having 6 chemo treatments that ended in March 2013. Having diabetes didn't help either
 I had the nerve cond study done and the dr (that is all he does is these tests) smirkingly told me there was nothing wrong. Never mentioned SFN which I didn't know about anyway. Doing my own research and seeing several dr's I asked the foot and ankle dr to do the skin biopsy..which is a very easy test to determine SFN. The test came back positive and I just wanted to go to the dr that did the nerve test and smush the results in his face......and to tell him that he should tell patients about SFN so they will know what other directions they can go in. The nerve cond tests usually don't show SFN. I do having tingling and numbness and any other symptoms you can have with neuropathy. Everyone if different and can present in different ways. This started in my feet then hands......now also in upper right arm and some days in both legs and both arms.....boy are those the fun days Not sure any of this info will help but just wanted to chime in (with my words that aren't even words...lol) Please keep us posted.
