I think the correct term is length-dependent small fiber neuropathy. It starts in the feet and sometimes hands, and moves slowly inward/upward like a stocking or glove.

Yes correct but stocking glove neuropathy is an actual term. It was mentioned to me by a doctor but only once. It stuck in my head as it sounded odd: Strange how there are so many terms and symptoms for this disease. It refers to the pattern like you mentioned but also
“ This length-dependent condition affects the longest nerve axons first, often creating the sensation that a person is wearing long stockings and gloves when they are not. “
I think I basically said the same as you maybe 🤔
