@johnbishop ~ I just responded to Corky on this subject as well, because I haven't run across anything that helps numbness. I'm still rather new to Connect and learning my way around. There is a weath of information here that people are gracious to share.
Question: How does one find out what kind of neuropathy they have? In other words, what tests are done to determine if it's small fiber or something else? I've never been told. I've also never had any nerve conduction tests run, but I'm to see a new neurologist in early June and will be asking him. Tonight I'm starting a 30-day trial of low dose Naltrexone which, if it works to take care of the nerve pain in my feet, I'll be tapering off of Lyrica. Best to you!

@brennankb55 - Neuropathy Commons has a good overview of the different testing used to diagnose neuropathy - https://neuropathycommons.org/diagnosis/diagnosing-peripheral-neuropathy. This short video by Matthew B Jensen Assistant Professor of Neurology, University of Wisconsin that gives a good explanation of how the different neuropathies are diagnosed.
