I also have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. You can read my story along with those of other members in another discussion where we've shared our diagnosis, our personal experience and what has helped us.

You mentioned the only drug you now take is Lyrica and you've tapered down to 75 mg in the morning and evening. Does that help control the pain from your neuropathy?

Hi John, no it doesn't control my pain, I get more pain but I can cope so far. I have done this because I heard many times that Lyrica is a dangerous drug.
