Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

Hello @ncameron, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I imagine being a neuroscientist makes it a little easier to understand what's going on with your body and neuropathy. That's originally what drew me to Mayo Clinic Connect in 2016, wanting to learn more about my condition and what the future may hold for my small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I did like my Mayo neurologist but wasn't really happy with his diagnosis and treatment since he said I was one of the lucky folks with small fiber PN with only numbness and no pain.

Hi @johnbishop, I am trying to find out if someone is getting treatment not only for the symptoms of SFN (pain treated with Gabapentin, Lyrica and Cymbalta,...) but the disease itself. SFN is so new in Neuroscience that research is more focus on detection than on a cure.... So my questions to you all is, are you on a treatment to slow down the degeneration of small fibers? If yes, what are you taking?
