Hi, I am from London, UK. I was diagnosed with idiopathic small nerve fibre neuropathy two and a half years ago but have had the symptoms for at least 12 years and these have gradually worsened over time. My symptoms are mainly itching and burning on scalp, face and arms and prickling sensations on my legs, feet and arms. I have tried all the medications recommended for SFN as well as lidocaine infusions, botox injections into the scalp but nothing has worked to date. I am able to work part time and try to enjoy life as much as possible despite my symptoms. I have unsuccessfully been trying to find out if I can have intravenous immunoglobulin but have told that 1. there is a shortage of it in the UK and it is very very expensive and 2. there have been no clinical trials performed in the UK to date to prove that this treatment is effective for SFN. I am still looking into this as I am not giving up just yet! I was wondering if anyone out there has found immunoglobulin to be effective/helpful for idiopathic SFN.. Of course as in any treatments available for SFN they only mask the symptoms and do not cure the disorder. I am also going to investigate whether diet has an impact on neuropathic symptoms and I was wondering if anyone else has managed to find out what kinds of foods to avoid etc. I try and live a healthy lifestyle but there may be foods which I should avoid which may possibly help my symptoms? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Regards Danielle
