Yes I was diagnosed with celiac about 15 years ago. I make sure that I am totally gluten-free.I had a skin biopsy about three years ago and was diagnosed with SFN.
I get pain and numbness in my legs, hands and hip from it. I make sure I do as much exercise as I can and I am on low-dose Naltrexone which helps a little.

Welcome Darla @darla1958, Thanks for sharing your experience. Diet and exercise certainly plays a big part in a lot of conditions including neuropathy and helping us live the best we can with the condition. If you haven't already seen it, the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a lot of helpful information - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
