Hello! Im sorry tp hear of ypur pain. Skin punch biopsy is a simple and factual determination for SFN. Tests for underlying causes include genetic testing, multiple blood draws and spinal tap. I have full body SFN caused by B12 deficiency. Outside of Gabepentin, Lyrica is one to try. I have benefited from the controlled release version of it. I also take Cymbalta for anxiety due to the complexity of the disease and receive lidocaine infusion therapy. A multidisciplinary approach is typically used for SFN. I wish you well and hope you continue to communicate with your neurologist and find what may be able to help you.

Just wanted to be clear that the Lyrica CR (controlled release) is only once a day and does a great job with my pins and needles, zaps etc...
