I am a victim of non-linked dependent small fiber neuropathy that was rapid onset. I have been on all of my skin from my head to my toes and every crack and crevice and have so far over six years. I would love to meet and talk to people then also suffer from this terrible invisible disease that can be debilitating pain wise
