A member asked:
What test can diagnose the source of my small fiber neuropathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple...: If you have had a nerve conduction study and confirmed this diagnosis through this test then there multiple labs that can be ordered in order to find out the source: electrolytes, blood sugar, vitamin b 12, hepatitis, syphilis, HIV, inflammatory tests( sed rate for example), Lyme disease, among others that are a lot less common. Follow up with your doctor on this.
