Do you still have symptoms of SFN? I have been battling this since being diagnosed in 2011. Was the Vit. B Complex & Folate 800mcg for the SFN and is it two medications or one? I am on Nortriptyline, refusing Gabapentin, Lyrica, etc.

I had numbness in my toes and pain in my ankles and hands. At the time, I thought the numbness was from my lower back due to disc and compression problem. Learning more about what SFN was I
figured that was probably the real cause (small tissue fiber biopsy was positive)
The folate 800mcg and B12 500mcg was due to a high homocysteine level— I had a folate deficiency. It was my Neurologist who did a battery of autoimmune blood levels to see if there was an underlying cause of the chronic fatigue. Was very helpful for his help since my PCP wasn’t.
Ps. Gabapentin knocked me out on the lowest dose and Lyrica gave me headaches.
Good luck and keep asking questions
