Diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy by corneal confocal microscopy

Hi.

A specialist in autonomic nervous system and chronic fatigue syndrome has recommended me to check if I have fine fiber neuropathy. He told me there was a new test called corneal confocal microscopy. There are still weeks left for the ophthalmologists to give me the result, but they sent me the photos.

The truth, comparing them with a study where you see a picture of a healthy person and another with fine fiber neuropathy, mine clearly suffers from the group of patients. Anyone know anything about this?

I have no pain, in any case the fibers would be affected of the autonomic nervous system. This diagnosis would give me access to IVIG for free.

Hello again, I have already been given the report of the corneal confocal microscopy for the diagnosis of fine fiber neuropathy. It seems that the diagnosis is confirmed. I put the English translation in red.

Are fine fibers recovered with IVIG treatment?
