What are small nerve fibers?
Are they axonal?

There are 4 types of sensory afferent fibers ... the C fibers are unmyelinated. The other 3 have various degrees of axonal myelin on them. This explains the 4 types. I seem to be putting this up here over and over lately. http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/cv.html You would have to look at your biopsy results to see which fibers were measured. |
Mrs D,
I am confused because the environmental doctor got back to me and said that they can't think of any toxins exposure that could be causing a decrease in small fiber nerves because the exposures that would cause pn affect the axons or cause demylenation. Isn't the damage and death of the small fiber nerves axonal? |
All nerve cells have axons. Some have unmyelinated (uninsulated) axons, and others have myelinated ones.(to various extents).
