I’m new here as well I was diagnosed with SFN 1 year ago I take 4500 mg of gabapentin a day and 300 mg of Quespatine 1/2 in the morning 1/2 at night with 40 mg of Paxil at night for insomnia because of the pain . I still only get about 4 hours sleep . also for aniexty daily 1 mg 2 times a day Clonazepam . I had surgery December 23rd with a permanent Boston Scientific Tens unit all of this With no no help... as with others I’ve read Everything thinks your crazy . Going crazy the pain never shuts off know matter what you do or take . I don’t feel hot or cold sensations / I’ve even tried the bed stinging technique for Neuropathy was stung 10 on one leg and and 10 on the other 3 different sessions with a neperapin in waiting incase I had a reaction. Didn’t even know I was getting stung I asked when he was going to get started and I’d already been stung he said the stingers our still in your leg pumping the venom . Seems there is no help
Just live with it I just can’t swallow that .
