Small Fiber Neuropathy: Book Recommendation

My neurologist also never mentioned SFN. I stumbled across a podiatrist that suggested the test. A punch skin biopsy confirmed SFN. This quest took 2 years and 13 doctors and so many procedures. I was lucky to find her. I am currently taking pregabalin for the symptoms. Now my quest is to find the cause. I am not diabetic. Mayo Clinic declined my appointment request so I'm on my own again. Try a podiatrist. It is a simple procedure.

Thank you for that information. I will make appointment with podiatrist.

My question is why are so many doctors, especially my neurologists I've had over two years, WHY are they not doing the SFN test???

For my neurologist in Tampa to not do this SFN test at all, not even confer with another neurologist in Tampa to see if that neurologist would see me asap to do the test and then for my neurologist to push me off on Mayo knowing there is a ONE YEAR waiting LIST etc.

I am furious with some of these doctors.
