I have been referred to the University of Boston Dr Anna Outlander. She started her research into neuropathy in 2017. I listened to her lecture on you tube. What I dislike is neurologists do not give you the long term prognosis. Small. Fiber neuropathy which is also called autonomic neuropathy affects heart, kidneys, bladder, and stomach gastroparesis. It also affects swallowing and speech. It is very frustrating when the bladder goes and you’re in public. When it starts affecting your bladder I set my cell phone every hour and go to the restroom even if you do not feel like you have to go. That’s been my solution to keep from urinating on myself in public.
Neuropathy comes in many forms since you have SFN you probably have peripheral neuropathy the EMG/Nerve Conduction test have to be given together for positive diagnosis.
