Skin Biopsy Australia?
 
I found this research, and it was conducted in Australia, and a skin biopsy was done. I realize that Australia is a continent, and this could be very far away, but perhaps people who are in need of the biopsies and have the means to get to this facility can contact them. They may not be offering them other than for research, but you never know. It also looks like they have an autonomic lab capable of some sophisticated testing.

Hope this has some potential to assist folks down under looking for leads.

Good one Cyclelops, it may be very well worth while contacting them, they may know of labs in other states that can do this procedure as well, just seems ridiculous that this technology isn't easily available in Australia.

Brian :)

Well
 
The States and Aus.hmmm maybe we could trade each other's homes
and save some money,let me know first so I can tidy up. Really they should
be done everywhere......Sue

Skin Biopsy
 
Thanks for that Cyclelops.

I'll correspond with them and see if there is any possibility of them still having the technical skill/staff and willingness to do and read an Intraepidermal Skin Punch biopsy or maybe they will know of another centre who does them closer to me.
