Blood Tests/Skin Biopsy

Also this test- can't seem to upload it. It says file to big??? Anyone have a skin biopsy test?

@patriciaschulz1950, I had most of the blood work done along with the nerve conduction test and a physical exam by my Mayo neurologist when I was diagnosed with small fiber peripheral neuropathy back in 2016. They did not do the skin punch biopsy though that is considered the gold standard when diagnosing neuropathy from what I understand. Neuropathy Commons has a lot of information on the different tests used here:

You might also want to take a look at the following discussion:

Have you had the tests done yet or are they being scheduled? Do you suspect you have neuropathy?

Yes - according to my neurologist- I have idiopathic neuropathy- she doesn’t know so been doing my own research and reading. The test and the video from Mass General was so helpful and interesting- it was like I found someone who was interested and curious.
