Hi All,
I too, am dealing with idiopathic small fiber neuropathy/autonomic neuropathy and was diagnosed after 4 years of doctors and specialists who could not fit the pieces together. BIG shout-out to Caitlin Castellot, NP, who pointed me in the right direction, and to Peter Novak, MD, PhD, for the right testing and the definitive diagnosis. And thank you to the curators and contributors of this forum who help to put this "new normal" into perspective.

My question is - Has anyone here had success applying for Social Security Disability?

Hello @elizabej -- Welcome to Connect. I posted this information in another post for a member but I haven't heard if they were able to file for disability.

@elizabej have your doctors suggested anything for treatment? I'm tagging @darlia since she originally asked the same question in an earlier post. @darlia were you able to file for SSA disability?
