non-length dependent neuropathy.
there is much discussion of PN but seldom is much said about non-length dependent neuropathy. I guess it must be relatively rare. The condition affects all different parts of the body. I think it is usually idiopathic as is mine is. I was diagnosed with it more than 10 years ago. I’d like to hear from others with this type of small fiber neuropathy.

Thank you John for such a nice response. it's been a long search and only now my symptoms are increasing more rapidly across my body, the picture is becoming clearer to me. Frustratingly now waiting for a neurologist to confirm what i fear.
My first symptom was a tingly tongue. My PCP told me I was hypersensitive. Three years later, I finally received a diagnosis of idiopathic NLD-SFN. It’s an adventure! It does scramble across my face and scalp at times.
Hello @jaijai, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @gator66, @quentin123, @sf2021, @kathleen123 and others. There seems to be a lot that is not known about this condition and it's good to learn what has helped others. Here are a couple of articles on NLD-SFN that may shed some light on the difficulty of this condition.
