Good morning @jgraber and welcome to Mayo Connect. We’re a group of patients and patient’s families and caregivers. We try to help each other with information and resources and what we have learned from our own health journeys. Since we are not doctors, we cannot diagnose or prescribe medications.
And, yes, this can be a lonely condition. But know that everyone is here for you. You are not alone.

Has it been suggested that you see a rheumatologist?

Thank you for your rapid reply!! I’ve been referred to a GI/liver specialist first and then to a rheumatologist. If I do not have an autoimmune disease then I will continue with the pain clinics recommendation for pain control. My Dr. said that small fiber neuropathy is very hard to treat. I will go to the SFN link you just sent me. I can’t thank you enough.
