@sherryw I have a question rather than answer, I.m sorry. How do you know what kind of neuropathy you have. I was told peripheral neuropathy, that's it. Will the neurologist know? I am not sure mine would, but I will ask. I do know I hurt. Both legs and feet with alot of cramping right now. Is that normal. At this point I don't know what is from what or is this something new.

@summertime4 I wish I could answer your question with certainty. This diagnosis is frustrating. @johnbishop posted a video that I watched and it gives you an idea of the types of neuropathy and diagnostic tools. My neurologist, after extensive lab work/MRIs/ nerve/muscle studies, said that I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. He is reluctant to do the skin biopsy because the results wouldn’t change my treatment. I would like to move forward with the skin biopsy

I also have lots of cramping in both feet! Am about to have minor surgery to put in pain blocker electrodes in both legs!
