I was gaslighted by at least 3 doctors who should have at least suggested further testing. Not every doctor is trying his or her best. In fact, one neurologist did great harm to me by suggesting there was nothing wrong with me.
I’m not sure why you think the previous post crossed a line and the linked article is full of misinformation. The article does talk about a skin biopsy as the best way to test for SFN contrary to what you say in your post. Also, the article contains nothing out of the ordinary that I haven’t read before but does a good job of summarizing symptoms and treatments. As far as many doctors, including neurologists, not being well informed or helpful in treating SFN, that has been my experience also. I am on my third neurologist and finally feel I have found someone who knows what they are doing. First two were terrible.
