I thought SFP was "Small Fiber Polyneuropathy"...a special form of SFN which progresses in a socking and glove fashion from usually the feet upward...I just had a second skin biopsy for this condition...Pam @burningfeetinphoenix

@burningfeetinphoenix If you don’t mind me asking, did you get your results back from your second biopsy?

@burningfeetinphoenix - we may need a doctor to chime in and provide clarification on the medical terminology and differences (@jeffrapp?), but when I look up polyneuropathy - it pretty much describes my situation and I was diagnosed with Small Fibre Neuropathy. In fact, I told my doctor that I always experienced pain on both sides of my body at the same time - which seemed bizarre to me. I NEVER felt pain in only one foot or one calf - the pain was always 'mirrored'...
