The sweating, GI and heart arrhythmia (all depending on what it is exactly) could be autonomic. The skin biopsy does look at autonomic fibers as well, so maybe this will provide some useful information for you.

Hopefully soon you will have some answers. Please keep us posted.
Thanks I will certainly let you know the outcome.

But I have another question before I go. For three nights now ive hardly suffered any of the usual burning or tingling pain I have been woken by almost every night for about two years now. The wet sensation iny legs had been much less of an issue too. I have had record amounts of intense flashing pain around my body - especially in hands. I have also felt very stiff and sore in my joints and tendons. The main feature of the past few days has been in my head, chest and tummy because I have a flu virus presently and am coughing a lot, experiencing respiratory difficulties and ear, nose and jaw pain. I've gone from a person who never sweats anymore to crazy amounts of sweating in the night.

My main question is, has the small fiber neuropathy gone away for good or is it just refiguring itself while my brain prioritises the nasty flu symptoms? I've done very little exercise at all because ive been bed-ridden with fever and coughing - taking only the odd panadol for pain as Cymbalta clears my body finally. Can anyone shed any light on this development for me and would it affect the results of my forthcoming skin biopsy I wonder?
