Skin Biopsy for diagnosing Small fiber peripheral neuropathy

I went thru a series of tests and finally a skin biopsy that the Neurologist said confirmed that I had SFPN. Then all she could do was prescribe pain meds, which have so many high risk side effects that they are useless for me.

Thank you for your feedback on this! It sure helps to hear everyone's struggles. Yes, from what I've seen there isn't a good treatment other than pain medication. Fortunately for me, I do not have pain with this (so far) I've decided to not do the skin biopsy for now and continue on with vitamins and supplements. My best to you.
