I've had tinitus for decades and have never thought that it could have been a symptom of neuropathy, but I have noticed that it seems to have worsened since I began treatment for sfn.

I also, among other things, take Imipramine and Mirtazapine. The imipramine seems to be reducing my pain in my feet. I take Mirtazapine as an add on for Wellbutrin for depression.

Like you, I think that I have other health issues that could be attributed to sfn, but doctors haven't given me an answer to my question.

Hi there. It is always beneficial to investigate side effects of meds to rule out as cause of symptoms first. On occasion side effects from meds and diagnosis can certainly share commonalities. SFN has been a very confusing diagnosis for me due to its plethora of symptoms, many of which match side effects from my current meds. My advice on meeting with your Dr is to keep a notebook handy and list each and every question as it pops into your head. Give yourself time to accumulate questions then re-read them days later. Once you compile a good list and look back at it a few times, certain questions may seem less imperative as time passes. Also, you may find that you can resolve some answers yourself via Google, forums, etc... As your appointment approaches, prioritize your questions and list no more than 10, keeping them straight forward. Less is more. Once in the office you start with your top questions and work your way down. Chances are most Drs can't or won't spend too much with you so make it count and get to the point. Good luck going forward.
