What are some of the causes of small fiber neuropathy, can the degeneration in my cervical spine becauseing it were I have all these strange symptoms neurological symptoms? I know I've had so many tests already from diabetes test and test looking for cancer and MRIs at the brain so much blood work up and everything's come back normal but I've had a lot of issues with pins and needles in my extremities and sharp stabbing pains in my feet and sometimes numbness in my extremities specifically my lower legs by calves my feet sometimes one side of my face will feel numb one part of my index finger on my right hand will feel numb but then I'll get the sensory overload sensation where it's almost like an adrenaline rush but they've checked my adrenal glands they've checked my blood work up for metanephrines and nor metinephrines and everything's been normal.

A lot of my symptoms are similar to yours. I also went through a multitude of tests including for diabetes. All were negative. I recently went to a foot clinic where the doctor did an ultrasound on my feet. There was low blood flow in my feet even though an ultrasound of my legs showed ample flow. I encourage you to get an ultrasound of your feet. This doctor prescribed EB-N6 which is showing results. I also have/had “sensory overload sensation where it's almost like an adrenaline rush”. Blood vessels have valves in them that open and shut to help regulate blood flow. I think that is what you are feeling since your body is working hard to heal and compensate. Now that I am taking EB-N6 that almost never happens. It is closing in on 3 years but it was only July of 2021 since the diagnosis of SFN. Now that I know what it is, I am looking for help. For me there possibly is endovascular surgery on the table. With the supplement I have been taking for appx. 1 month I have reduced my Pregabalin by 1/3. The doctor I found was in AZ so I did have to travel. So much has gone into these 3 years that I have left out many details and just touching only on my journey highlights. I hope this helps or at least gives you hope.
