Small Fiber Neuropathy?

Steve,
I believe all Those tests were done in 2010 when they tested fir small fiber. In 2019 after the old dr blew me off, I went to a neurologist in another major university hospital. He took a lot of blood work, most of the same that I had in 2010. All came up for the most part fine. He was willing to give me gab or lyrica, but nervous about everything I’ve read. I’m on imipramine now and was also on cymbalta when this started, but not anymore.He also took a cervical mri but said even though herniations , he didn’t think surgery would help. Had a few other tests then gave up going to drs in May . It’s gotten bad as it’s constant, a little better when I walk.

@albiet That's about all you're going to find with neurologists: offer of Gabapentin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta. They are as lost as we are, as no one really knows what's what with SFN or how to treat it, so save your money and time and do your own research on your body, your SFN. What helps you? What makes it worse? Follow leads on Connect to learn what others have found useful. Also, you might want to poke around on the NeuropathyCommons website.
