And--

--even though Ides' intraepidermal nerve fiber density values for the thigh are within the "normal" parameters as set up by this protocol (the MacArthur protocol, after the person who originally designed it at Johns Hopkins), they're still in the very low part of "normal", since 8.0 is the fifth percentile.

The results are certainly consistent with a length-dependent small-fiber neuropathy.
