Thank you everyone. Just reading this was so emotional. To read I am not alone or imagining my symptoms is one step closer in trying to understand SFN. I just want to know why it has gotten worse over a years time.

Yesterday I didn't take the gabapentin all day or at night and I was in a good place. Then in the middle of the night I was reminded by the pain I would never be painless. The gabapentin works, but not 100% and I can't take more than 300mg or I'll be a zombie.

There has to be a reason this happens to the small nerves. Why are doctors clueless to this disease and just make you feel like it's in your head? There are times I have left the doctor's office in tears after being told it's psychological and I must have PTSD. To the point I started thinking maybe they were right. It was my husband that pushed for the SFN testing.

Does anyone know why the muscle stiffness and spasms occur?
