Is MGH stand for mass general hospital.?sounds
like a good dr if she is willing to stick with you and try to help . All my guys just keep sending me on to Neurosurgeon who think both hand and feet probably coming from stenosis, but will not believe any of them so of course they pass me.on.My neurologist sent me to them. Going to Hopkins in sept but that is huge institution so not looking forward to that . Talk about who could care less . I was just hoping they had better medical devices an test to help me figure if this is small fiber nueropathy.

I am in Australia and I think we are a bit behind USA with wonderful institution like the Mayo clinic. I’m envious.
I have just been diagnosed with small fiber and now long fiber Neuropathy. I’m 66 and just can’t accept this leg weakness pain and fatigue.. I was an active bushwalker and now I have difficulty walking at all.
What are some of the tests available to you ..I am non diabetic alcoholic or smoker.. no genetic history no trauma or operations ..All bloods are normal. The only link could be a shingles vaccine …but no way of ever proving it . Nerve tests reveal short and long fiber ..The wait to see a neurologist is unbelievable. I emailed 5 specialists begging them to see me . One answered with a 3 month wait another with 9 month wait ..some have closed their books. Any info on tests available or cure would be so very much app
