Good evening @ashley302, I haven't seen an update for you in your search for information about and treatment for SFN. I think you asked about natural remedies. Have you discovered any self-help treatments? At the top of my list are Yoga, Mindful Meditation and Myofascial Release (MFR ). The yoga and meditation are must-dos for connecting the body, mind, and spirit. I am happy to share more with you if you would find it worthwhile.

You are sooooo young. Perhaps there will soon be a medication that encourages nerves to regenerate. How do you think your small fiber nerves were injured?

You have made a decision to stop taking medication. How are you doing without medication? I understand your desire to be unencumbered with side effects and the possibility of dependency. I reached that point early in my SFN journey. That was when I engaged a "coach" to help me find the right natural remedy and that is medical cannabis. Have you explored that option? I am now four years down the cannabis road and have found a regimen that works best for me.

I am concerned about your anger and depression. How do you feel as you read this? How can I help? I am here for you.
May you have relief from pain. Chris

Good evening @artscaping ,
I've had numerous labs and testing done to find a root cause of the small fiber neuropathy but nothing has come back to say that's what caused it. I do exercise and eat pretty healthy. I have a strong faith in God and that helps me stay positive and cope.

I really hope they come out with some treatment that can repair the nerves.

I'm doing okay without taking medication. It never really helped with my neuropathy symptoms so I would rather find a natural remedy.

I have not explored the medical cannabis option. Would that require a prescription?

My anger about the condition comes and goes. Most days I"m okay but at times this condition can be overwhelming and I can lash out.

Thank you for your concern and help on this. Ashley
