Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

Oh boy, yes. What you have described is what I feel mostly in both hands and both forearms. I also have it in the same areas as you, but my hands and forearms are the worst with the SFN.

You definitely are not alone. And, yes, I wouldn't want anyone else to suffer with SFN.

Were you diagnosed via punch biopsies? Do you see a Neurologist? What are you doing for your pain? At first, topical ointments and lidoderm patches helped, in addition to Gabapentin. (I am so thankful Gabapentin agrees with me - I can't imagine life without it. It helps to take the edge off).

i was diagnosed from punch biopsy. i tried Gabapentin but it made me very angry and stopped, then they gave me the lyrica which does help some.
