@sf2021 My GP just diagnosed me with this yesterday. I am waiting on all the blood work to come back that may rule out any autoimmune disorders. My pain and off sensations are localized to my left cheek and the middle front of left thigh. It is extremely odd to me how it only affects two completely unrelated areas. I can't comment on your questions but interested in how you are now coping since some time has passed.

@ahungness
Hi, I believe I have non-length dependent small fiber neuropathy. Mine travels to different parts of the body - sometimes left hand, arm, rib cage area but most consistently left side of the face and my tongue. My pain level has subsided (not gone) over the years (keeping my fingers crossed) and got off all meds (gabapentin and duloxetine). I manage it through acupuncture, diet and exercise. I hope this helps. It can get better.
