You indicated that you had an infection and I wonder if they cultured the wound for any organism?

Glenn is utterly correct when he says that a lot of SFN never progresses past burning sensations in the feet, and hopefully, the disease process will stop and begin to reverse.

They did test me for cat scratch but they ruled that out. I didn't have much puss, but I was on antibiodics and that cleared it up, but my healing takes longer cause of the diabetes.

The report came back as polyneuropathy and this is what the doctor assumed that I got this from diabetes. I of course gave him my history with the diabetes... I never took care of myself until last year, so I guess I did do at least 9 years of damage to my nerves.

You don't know how bad I wish I had the SFN and it would reverse itself. But I am pretty sure this was caused by diabetes and the damage is done.

Thanks,
Michele
