Hello everyone, I am reading more and more of the comments, and responded a few times as well. Trying to figure this owe Neuropathy thing out. I have some of the symptoms cold feet, some tingling in my hands but little to no pain. I take gabapentin 2x a day( morning & just before bed) and I sleep throughout the night without incident. Is this normal because it’s only been 3 months or is my journey just at the beginning stages.I recently had an EMG test done of the lower extremities with normal findings. Reading some of the posts some individuals state the EMG only detect large fiber neuropathy. Any and all advice excepted.

They did an EMG TO FIND LARGE NERVE DAMAGE ON ME, then they took a biopsy in a couple places on my small fiber nerves and I have damage there. You really need a biopsy to determine the small fiber nerves. Keep moving and swim if you can, especially if you have no pain, you can keep it at bay.

Do you have no pain bc you take gabapentin? Gabapentin does nothing to help with neuropathy it is only for pain.
