Hello @lisalucier thank you for the welcome! I appreciate the supportive community. My symptoms developed rapidly in May. The symptoms are worse if I miss a dose of Gabapentin. My neurologist is titrating the dosage up slowly. My Vit B12 level did reach normal limits with treatment. My testing besides the vit B12 Level is thus far normal. My neurologist is leaning toward the SFN being idiopathic. The diagnosis of SNF is based on normal testing (including a normal EMG and NCS) and symptoms, A skin biopsy has not been done. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

Thanks for the additional information, @sherryw. Good to hear that you are seeing some symptom improvement with the Vit. B12 treatment and gabapentin.

I'd also love for you to meet and @artscaping @rwinney @somisgirl @barbbie.

You mentioned that no biopsy has been done. Are you hoping to have this in the future? Are you able to clearly differentiate what symptoms are from the small fiber neuropathy (SFN) and what is from the benign fasciculation syndrome?
