Hi Ken,

I really appreciate your responses. I feel so alone and don't know where to turn. I really do need responses from everyone that I can.

Thank you so much.

Canagirl,
I think it would be helpful if you could tell your story from the beginning. I don't think anyone has enough details to be able to offer their ideas or compare to their conditions. The skin burning is consistent with SFN. That is all I can say.

Tests so far
MRI - head, neck, full back - all normal
EMG - right leg and left arm - came back with carpal tunnel in left arm
EEg - normal
Bloodwork - Ca, Mg, Potassium, glucose, iron, B12, copper, ANA, lyme, Igg, Iga, Igm, female hormones, testosterone, (some more I can't remember) - all normal
Urine - norepinephrine, cortisol - normal

...

Maybe someone who knows more than me about this can chime in, but my current understanding is that a skin biopsy is the only way of showing "clinical evidence" of SFN. All the other tests would be normal. Or am I misunderstanding?

The neurotin had caused me much more pain than what I was having before.
