@maryflorida Your neurologist can and should do a skin punch biopsy as neuropathy is in their field. However, make sure your neurologist is knowledgeable of the various types of neuropathy, including Small Fiber Neuropathy. It is still widely unknown or understood by some Drs. My neurologist did my biopsy right in his office. It's pretty quick and easy. Good luck! 🍀

Oh gee. She said she would arrange for a surgeon to do this, and after six weeks, she has not.

Hello. I typed a lot then it disappeared. Please tell me how to get to the beginning of the skin biopsy discussion. For years, even before I learned they are doing them I have wished I could have one! Thx so much! I am not proficient in getting around here. Blessings, Sunny
