Hello @pepsi97, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @colleenyoung. I'm have no medical training or background but I do have small fiber peripheral neuropathy and I let it go for 20+ years before getting a diagnosis. When I first started asking questions again prior to the diagnosis my primary care agreed it was neuropathy and prescribed gabapentin. My only symptoms were numbness in the feet and legs. I had no pain. After taking the gabapentin for 2 weeks, it did nothing to help with the numbness. I went back to my primary care doctor and she consulted with her team at the Mayo Family Clinic where I go and after answering a few more questions the lead doctor told me gabapentin only helps with pain and does nothing for numbness.

It was easy for me to stop taking the gabapentin because I hadn't been on it very long but I also would suggest consulting with your doctor before you stop taking the drug.

As far as the numbness goes, when I finally met with the Mayo Clinic neurologist and was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber PN, he confirmed again that there are no treatments that help with numbness. There are a few discussions you may be interested in reading through or posting questions you may have.

@pepsi97, did your neurologist do any tests or take a skin punch biopsy to provide a diagnosis?
