Well, skin biopsy is positive for sfn. Now what? My husband is not supportive. He told me yesterday he plans to look out for himself, and he's really good at that. He has stolen thousands of dollars from me in the last ten years. So I'm looking at disability, divorce, financial ruin, and let's not forget for extra fun--baldness. I don't have one person to advise me. I have a beautiful home on 3 acres with dogs and a horse. I don't know how to begin to get rid of my beloved horse, clean out my house, sell it, leave my job, pay my mooching husband off. Suicide seems much more logical. I have two grown daughters, but they don't acknowledge this and they have their own lives to live. I have two gorgeous grand children that I want more time with. I'm still working, so my inclination is to just keep getting up and going in until I have a heart attack or get fired.

@swartzki I am feeling your pain. It is an awful situation you are in. It is both physical and emotional. Please find a doctor who can help you. Pain from neuropathy is bad and often leaves us feeling vulnerable. It sounds like your husband (hopefully x very soon) feeds on that. While you seek a doctor also seek a GOOD LAWYER. Do not give up what you have and worked so hard for. Emotional pain triggers physical pain. Please do not give up.

@swartzki, I'm really sorry to hear that your husband is not supportive. That's on him and not you. The fact that you are here looking for answers and learning as much as you can about your small fiber neuropathy condition is a good thing. The more you can learn, the better chance you have of finding a treatment or therapy that works for you. Although small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is serious, it is not (IMHO) the end of the world. Hoping you are able to take it one day at a time, one step at a time, learning as much as you can and find something that will help your symptoms.
