Have you tried the new Protocol 525 product for neuropathy relief?

Hi Jeff @jeffrapp, I had thought about getting retested for my neuropathy but did not follow through. My Mayo neurologist didn't use a punch biopsy for my diagnosis. I had a couple of EMGs and some labs along with a physical exam when he diagnosed me with idiopathic small fiber PN. I did think about seeing if I could get another EMG to see if there was some difference but it's a matter of paying for the tests and getting one scheduled so I haven't pursued it anymore. I agree that it would confirm my subjective feelings quite a lot if the test confirmed improvement. After this COVID-19 situation improves I may talk to my primary care doc to see if I could schedule something that would be covered by my insurance. I missed my annual exam due to COVID so will add it to my list of questions for my doctor. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi John, I was under the impression that SFN was not detectable by EMG; that is what I was told since my 2 EMG tests were negative. Further tests showed nothing so my neurologist assumed by my symptoms I had idiopathic SFN, stating that the treatment would be the same no matter what. Do you know which test specifically showed you to have SFN? I did forego the skin biopsy which she has since offered to do.
