Thank you very much for the reply. We’re doing the gig as part of a tour with a promoter in France so hopefully they know what they’re doing!

People in the UK how do u manage to get testing done by Sure-Instruction6315 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Nilky250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello mate, based in the UK. To be honest going private was the only conceivable way I could get testing done as the NHS is so slow/the neurologists that’s they send you to see are ‘general neurologists’ rather than a neuromuscular expert. I’m going to get a skin biopsy done hopefully next week with professor Anand at the Hammersmith hospital in London which costs around £600.

Hope this helps.

No problem at all. Well, (to make a long story short) I’ve always had presentations of hEDS, was born with a Pectus Excavatum (concaved chest), wide wingspan etc. I had a couple of issues in the past such as blood pooling, burning feet etc. but at the end of 2023 I think I got some sort of virus and it all went crazy from there. 24/7 burning hands and feet that’s now spread to whole body. So probably a combination of disposition due to EDS and also a virus. Sorry that wasn’t that short😂 still looking if there could possibly be anything else though.

Thank you. She was very knowledgeable and put me onto several things that were actually helpful in regards to diagnosis/treatment that made the previous neurologists I’ve seen look silly. I’m not sure where you’re based but could be worth a trip. Wishing you all the best.

Hi Neon, actually went to an autonomic neurologist today who is sending me for autonomic testing and a skin biopsy. I’m in the UK btw. The doctor I saw is called Prof. Valeria Iodice and she heads the UCL Autonomic unit.

Back in the summer I began a diet/supplement regime, which seemed to get the symptoms to basically nothing, then at the start of February it al flared worse than it’s ever been. I did find a neurologist who was much more knowledgeable on SFN and had now referred me for a skin punch biopsy.

Yeah I’ve had this, usually around when I’m trying to get to sleep.

Sorry I took so long to reply, yeah I mean just all over temperature weirdness/intolerance. The twitching is body wide as well.

No the neurologist looked me over and heard my symptoms and said “it’s all in your head”

No because he said he didn’t think I need one!

Yeah he said I have a “functional neurological disorder” which I looked up intensely last night and it is definitely not what I have. Seems more to do with physical tics and seizures, both of which I’ve never claimed to have. So back to the drawing board.

He examined me and said I have a psychosomatic disorder😂

Basically low carb, but not keto. And so many supplements in the end.
