@rwinney Rachel I have small nerve fiber and I have the pinpricks in my eyes and all over. I went to a neuro-opthalmologist and he did indeed tell me it is related to my small nerve fiber. The pricks are very annoying. I have them very close to the eyes and in the eyes. You can read my story under my name rnlorena. He checked the nerves in my eyes and will continue to follow me for this. I have the very tiny beginning of macular degeneration in my left eye. He will keep up with me on that also. Mine is idiopathic so far and it is frustrating. I now take a beta blocker due to my heart rate going up to 182. I can't get an answer if it is caused by the SNF. I kinda feel like it is. Neuro said he can't say yes to that. But I find it odd that in March two days after I retired I woke up with full onset pin pricks and then in April I woke up and felt funny in my chest thinking it was my palpitations acting up more than usual. But no it was my heart rate and after testing I take a beta blocker. I also have a burning pain that is on the top of my left hand. It does from the wrist down to the area between my little finger and ring finger and it comes and goes all day long. In our last discussion my neuro said that there is a cause we just don't always know what it is. Ha! I have read the stories of other people on this site and know that they have way more issues than I do.
I would like to go to Mayo in Jacksonville but know that it takes a year to get an appt. and just because I want to go doesn't mean they will see me.
