Small Fiber Neuropathy: Book Recommendation

I have both large and small fiber neuropathy, What do you recommend for pain? and can someone share with me what symptoms I can expect. The neuropathy is not bad, just a little in my toes. I have leg pain especially at night. I am taking Gabapentin 300 mg one in the morning and three at night., most recently Tramadol and Robaxin to take with severe pain only. I am also taking probiotics since I have ask for something more natural. Can anyone suggest anything else and advise me as what to expect as the disease progresses? My daughter was recently dx with small FN. how are these two different.? Thank you in advance. Jeanie

Did your doctor(s) give you any explanation as to possible causes of your neuropathy? Is genetics a factor since your daughter has it? I wonder what your daughter's age range is if the doctors did not give you an explanation for it. What about environmental risk factors? Dental work or other toxic exposure? I wonder what's going on. There doesn't seem to be much curiosity about neuropathy on this board except for the most obvious source for large fiber which is diabetes.

Hi Jeanie, I have SFN in my feet and hands, gabapentin at night allows me to sleep and holds off most of the pain during the day. I also take R-Ala, magnesium, vit. D, C and an Omega 3 liquid which I think helps prevent the progression and pain. Best of luck to you and your daughter.
