Is it possible that you also have autonomic neuropathy? I was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. The autonomic neuropathy is the reason I also have IBS (along with a host of other things). Your autonomic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that controls involuntary actions, such as your digestive system.

Since they don't know what my neuropathy is, I guess it's possible to be autonomic. Nobody's ever told me it was, though my diagnostics have been limited to bloodwork, nerve conduction studies, and a sural nerve biopsy. I'll google autonomic and ask my doctor about it next visit! Thanks!

What test was done to diagnose this?
