Small Fiber Neuropathy and Face?

@fija1001 Hello there. I'm not sure if you or anyone else in the feed has gotten answers, but I wanted to attempt to help. I have anxiety as well and I have been hospitalized for stroke like symptoms. The doctors just brushed me off and said I was faking it, but I absolutely wasn't. I did my own research and discovered that Functional Neurological Disorder is a disorder that is induced by many things, stress and anxiety being among them. I have been diagnosed with that as well as Pseudotumor Cerebri, Papilledema, and a few other things. I'm now going deaf in my right ear, my face is going numb to light touch and my tongue is going numb in spots and I'm having trouble tasting and smelling too (not from my COVID). I hope you have or find the answers you need and I hope my story and experience help you and others. Wishing you all the best.

Hello @bclifton03, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing your experience. Trying to find answers to help with my neuropathy is also what brought me to Connect back in 2016.

Do you mind sharing which of your symptoms is hardest to manage?
