I've been dealing with ME/CFS symptoms for close to 2 years now. It wasn't until earlier this year that my doctor found the cause of my symptoms. A punch biopsy revealed small fiber neuropathy. How many of you checked for SFN? I ask because many articles I've been reading lately have been linking SFN to conditions like EDS, Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS.

My symptoms:
air hunger
heaviness sensation in legs
freezing/burning sensation on skin
bug crawling sensation on skin
pins and needles
nausea
bloating
fatigue
exercise intolerance
adrenaline surges before bed
If anyone is experiencing these types of symptoms, it might be worth looking into SFN. In most cases an EMG nerve conduction test will not spot SFN. A punch biopsy is what found mine.
