Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

I have SFN with no pain. I have been on Pregabalin for 2 months, currently 100mg, twice daily. So far it has only helped with tingling. There is no change to the tightness/numbness with my feet. I expected more relief from the Rx. Am I expecting too much? Anyone else in the same boat? Thanks.

My neurologist told me their are no medications that will help with numbness. Prior to be diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber PN, my PCP prescribed gabapentin which I took for 2 weeks and it did nothing for my numbness so I stopped taking it. There is another discussion on the numbness symptom you might want to read what other members have shared.
