I’ve had a skin punch biopsy, which ruled out Parkinson’s and indicated small fiber neuropathy. I have an appointment in April at John Hopkins neurology dept to confirm if it’s SFN and if so, what’s causing it. I think the biopsy is well worth it. The doctor cleared it with Medicare, and the covered it.

Thank you for your comment. What does the biopsy entail? I scheduled one for the spring.
I just recovered from a bout of COVID and found it to have amped up my symptoms. I'm hoping they diminish. Our freezing cold temps are not helping either.
