Oh my gracious! I never knew small fiber neuropathy could turn into large fiber neuropathy! I am already extremely numb over possibly 75% of my body! I cannot feel that I am wet when I am in a swimming pool. I can only feel temperature and pressure. It is the most bizarre thing in the world to be numb yet burning and stinging at the same time. Go figure!

I guess I will have to learn about this possibility of the changes in neuropathy that can take place. This this disease is by far one of my more brutal diseases and the treatment, Gabapentin, can't stand the side effects! I find it interferes with tracking, memory, concentration, Focus, judgement, coordination, Etc. As I've said before, some of these are symptoms of fibromyalgia and they call that fibro fog. Then, some of my diseases and medicines for those have the same side effects. I guess I'm really special LOL! 😊😁

As difficult as it is to be a patient of so many afflictions, I completely trust God in my circumstance because I know Him well enough to know that He has a higher purpose in it and that it is only temporary. Were it not for Him and His ever-presence, peace and comfort, there's no way I would have made it through all this which by the way keeps coming!

Thank you all for being such a great support and wealth of knowledge! I am extremely thankful for each one of you and wish you all many, many blessings! Sunny flower. 😊

@sunnyflower Hi there. I was wondering if you noticed my reply to you in private message a few days back? Just didnt want you to think I never responded. 😊

@sunnyflower I had same problem with memory concentration and found taking ginko biloba helped me but ask your Dr it does interfer with some meds

I really wish they’d stop pushing gabapentin. It did not help my pain and they had me on the highest dose possible. I also was always off balance.
