Welcome @simina1234, When I was first diagnosed with small fiber PN I looked into the infrared therapy but was concerned about the cost of the treatments with no end in sight or guarantees so decided against it. I also saw something similar I thought might be helpful but have not tried it. There are a couple of discussions you might find helpful to learn what others have found helpful.

@juanito and @ecc79 may be able to share their experience with infrared therapy with you.

Are you able to share a little more about your symptoms and any treatments you started or that have been recommended by your doctor?
