Hi .. I hope you’re feeling well and you won’t mind me asking what your symptoms were/are from SFN. I suspect I have it and scheduled a biopsy although my neurologist doesn’t feel it’s urgent . If my biopsy is positive I’ll buy the book.
Hope to hear back from you.

Hello! Don't mind at all. Definitely a progressive onset beginning 3 years ago and not being properly diagnosed until Feb of this year. Doctors and I ran in many different directions before I demanded that something was wrong neurologically. My underlying cause is B12 deficiency (I listed some more specific symptoms of B12 towards the bottom). It's a long list, here you go...

sharp sudden pain
stabbing
burning
aching
tingling
numbness
pins and needles
vibrations
topical sunburn feeling
cold/hot flush sensation
hot spots on feet
lumps under feet
restless leg
deep bone pain/aches
dizziness
sweating/freezing
exhaustion
heavy breathing
palpitations

I wish you all the best in finding a proper diagnosis. Just knowing, despite it sucking, will bring peace of mind and accountability of your symptoms.
