Hello @judypall, welcome to Connect. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but do not have to take any pain medication because I only have numbness with my PN. Do you take any kind of medication for your neuropathy? Dizziness is one of the side effects of neuropathy pain medications such as gabapentin and others. Have you discussed the symptoms with your doctor?

Gabapentin (Oral Route)

I am not taking any medications. Tried lyrica and gabapentin. Did not like the way it made me feel. Worse. Only vitamins
