Hi maveric09... I feel for you. I have more questions for you.
Within the last year I and another member of my family (; not same house); suddenly had unbearable back spine nerve pain. No preceding back pain. I coincidentally noticed it lined up exactly with the ????? Vaccine. His also. During my research I found something called Myelitis - which is the cover on your nerves crumbles. I learned they don't even look for this until paralysis sets in. Then , if caught early enough can be reversed .
My question for you ( because my neurologist appt is mid April) Do they check for this crumbling of the nerve covering for other severe nerve pain and damage,??
If it can be treated and reverse paralysis, can it be reversed if checked earlier, before damage is done to other parts of the body .
No, I'm not paralyzed so doctors I've seen have to Google it, and " this is soooo rare you don't have it". But it is not that rare after a ???? Vaccine. And NO , they won't check for it

Hoping you keep sharing and asking questions... I believe I am a little better after 11 months..
I believe you will find answers. Thank you
Keep asking questions, please.

Thank you Taml. I still haven't seen my diagnosing doctor. Although she confirmed my SFN diagnosis by phone, she still has me testing for underlying neurological disease. I'm doing a Neuropathy panel this week. I do not know what that tests for. What I want to know is if tht chest pain I've been feeling is related to SFN. My Neurologist said it might be related as SFN. I've read here in other threads that chest pain can manifest with SFN but it may be due to anxiety. What I'm feeling doesn't feel like anxiety though. Happens when I'm cool and calm as a cucumber.
