Yes my skin biopsy was done correctly and sent to Therapath for analysis. I think that's the right name, to tired to get up and dig out the test. The results were below the norm " consistent with small fiber neuropathy".
I am or was a very healthy middle aged women who went to bed complaining of dry skin and woke up with pain , pins and needles( being dramatic here). Hence my search for a reason especially since the meds make me feel tired and stupid.
I just was confused to find Mayo didn't think much of the skin biopsy when all I've read was how definitive it is for neuropathy.
I think ,I think that if I find the reason then I can find a treatment as so far nothing helps. My closest friend is a P.T. and I used to work in a pain management clinic (Psy.) I don't think the clinic helped many people with chronic pain and I have learned so much since getting neuropathy that I cringe when I think of how little the pain clinic did for patients.
