Small fiber neuropathy?

I had a blood biopsy and it showed damage to my sensory neuropathy panel. Test was done at Washington University and requested by my neurologist in Sydney. We don’t have that type of test available in Australia. Showed damage and then I started appropriate treatment to help repair nerves. My nerves weren’t cut but badly damaged by my immune system. My nerves have started to recover but it takes a while. Not sure about broken or cut nerves. I have a very clever and wonderful neurologist.

Am seeing another nm doctor in June for an opinion. If my current doctor won’t give me enough information I’m going to follow through with the June appointment. I was referred to the new doc by my PT doctor. Even she thought “it” is more…I asked her if she’s had patients like me with my problems. She asked me if I’d heard of CIDP. I told her yes. That it is one possible cause of my situation : the polyradiculopathy’s. Then there are assorted causes to the CIDP. Not yet explored. I wonder if CIDP is genetic. An older aunt developed it months following an immunization like me. Curious to me. Anyway…like many I am seeking answers and remedies to specific issues. Thank you for your informative posts! 💜

What treatment did you have?
