AVS were seen in hypothenar skin biopsies in 18 fibromyalgia patients and 14 of the total control subjects.The methods used for analysis were “Multimolecular immunocytochemistry to assess different types of cutaneous innervation in 3?mm skin biopsies from glabrous hypothenar and trapezius regions.” For this reason it is critical for a diabetic to check the feet every day.
