@airpod @johnbishop I've come to realize that seeing neurologists for neuropathy is a waste of time as they seem to do little beyond offering Gabapentin, Lyrica and Cymbalta. I suspect that many members of MayoConnect are more knowledgeable about neuropathy than the average neurologist. The only neurologist that really helped me was a Russian-trained female neurologist I saw when I was living in Massachusetts after being diagnosed with SFN at Mayo Clinic (January 2017, six months after I first experienced symptoms in my feet). She admitted that very little was known about SFN, its causes and treatments. We had serious discussions, and she recognized that I was willing to do whatever might be needed to find the help I needed. When she encouraged me to get an appointment with Dr. Louise Oaklander (the SFN "guru") in Boston, I began the process. Unfortunately, before I was able to get that appointment, I moved to Missouri. Then I waited months for an appointment with a neurologist at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis. Total waste of time: More tests, try Gabapentin, Lyrica or Cymbalta and see a movement disorders neurologist. Then another Mayo neurologist who said my problem was in my cervical spine and suggested surgery, adding that I didn't have neuropathy!!! Meanwhile, neuropathy has overtaken most of my body. I'd about given up thinking I'd find the help I needed at Mayo Clinic until earlier this year when I decided that I needed to find Pain Medicine doctors at Mayo, which I have done. I saw them last summer, and recently returned from Rochester, MN, where I underwent a 7-day trial with a spinal cord stimulator. Now I must decide if I want a SCS implanted in my body.
