My rheumatologist did my SFN biopsy but does not know how to help me. So should I be seeing a neurologist or rheumatologist?
No I had both of them in January at the hospital I worked at. After numerous lab draws and visits so far its idiopathic.I retired from nursing and two days after I stopped working I woke up with full blown pin pricks all over and in my eyes. I have seen a neuro-opthalmologist and he confirms that it is related to SNF. This has blown me away. I said to the Neuro doc that it seems rare that it started like that and he said it is. I have read that people get the vaccine and then have issues. I asked the neuro doc if my cholesterol med could have done it and he said no. But I have read otherwise. I also started having a burning pain in my left hand which is odd. It starts at my left wrist and goes down between my little finger and ring finger and it goes off and on all day long. I don't know that it could be the vaccines. I know that I don't have issues as bad as other people but as I sit here writing this the pricks are doing their thing. It is more annoying than anything.
