_dreamer_ : My neuro diagnosed me with SFN and a normal ENFD. I had greatly reduced SGNFD in my thigh and also an abnormal QSART test which he seemed to think was enough to make the judgement call.

The nursing staff went through all my medications with me prior to the punch biopsy. I think they are concerned with any medication of an anti-inflammatory nature because it might change the way the sample looks under the microscope. Perhaps others could chime in...

Progesterone is a neuroprotective agent according to a quick search online. I just don't know whether it would affect small unmyelinated fibers. But when you talk to the lab tomorrow, you should ask them...this is a very good question for the pathologist.
