Hi, I am not officially diagnosed with FM at this time, I have spent the last 19 months seeing different specialists and checking off boxes. It has been an interesting and also challenging process. Two days ago I had a small fiber neuropathy skin biopsy, and I am having a rather intense reaction to the small skin punch that was taken on my foot. First I would like to mention that I have read quite a bit about the connections being found between SFN and FM, research done so far indicates that about half of FM patients also have SFN. All of my tests have been negative so far; I have seen 2 Rheumatologists, an Orthopedic, a spine specialist, and am now on my second Neurologist (the first referred me to the second for this test specifically), and I was fully expecting this would also result in a negative test. After the lidocaine wore off I began having intense (painful) nerve zaps traveling from the area of the biopsy (top of foot) up onto the top of two of my toes. The feeling is strong, electrical and intense. I have never had this before. It is difficult now to get my foot into shoes. My entire foot feels like it is in a neural net that is zinging and pinging! Now I think that I probably do have SFN, and for some reason this small biopsy was enough to trigger me into the next level of symptoms. Very sobering as I was not having this level of nerve symptoms before. I am wondering if anyone here has had a reaction to a SFN skin biopsy procedure? My other foot also seems to be amped up now, not as much as the tested foot, but still activated. My whole body is actually triggered and I am not feeling well, my stiff hands are worse, etc. Any thoughts, insights, experiences would be appreciated, thank you...
