Hello @crisis1152, Welcome to Connect. I also have idiopathic small fiber PN. My neurologist thought that it was probably genetic but no one in my immediate family is around for comparison. It can be frustrating but I've found it helps to keep learning as much as you can about your condition and symptoms which is a good thing about Connect. Members share their personal experiences, what's helped, what hasn't helped, etc. and we can learn from each other. There is another discussion you might find helpful by reading what other members have shared.

If I read correctly you've had peripheral neuropathy since 2012. When you were diagnosed did you start any treatments for the associated pain?
