@jordanabrams30 You know what.....I began to notice a decline in my sense of smell, taste, and touch. Touch made sense to me but it appears that other sensory abilities are also impacted. So...I checked and found the following: "Small fiber neuropathy is considered a form of peripheral neuropathy because it affects the peripheral nervous system, which connects the brain and spinal cord to muscles and to cells that detect sensations such as touch, smell, and pain." Many of us know about the pain.........others may have numbness or a decline in the sense of touch. I will refer this to @johnbishop. John, because you have numbness without pain, have you noticed the other sensory issues? I am wondering if I will be less interested in food now and lose some weight? Be safe, be free of pain and find joy in every day. Chris

@artscaping Yes I had a punch biopsy of the feet. Left food was an 8 right 14. Someone who is 31 they expected me to be at a 21. So they are trying to figure out why, and I have my first Mayo appointment March 5th, so hopeful to get answers. Right now my symptoms are mainly numbness in a couple toes
