What helps the symptoms of Small Fiber Neuropathy?

Hello Chris, the soft flannel booties I wrote about are made by a company called Natra Cure. I know they make mittens with an insert that you heat in the microwave, but I don't know about the booties. However, I feel certain that if they do make them, you'll find them on Amazon. As for meds......when this all started, I saw my PC who said I might have neuropathy, called in a script for gabapentin, said it might help and sent me on my way. I was on the gabapentin for about 3 days, developed a rash over my entire body and was told to stop taking it. So, as of today I'm not on any meds. for neuropathy. However, I am on a very small (as needed) dose of Prednisone for my polymyalgia, and I feel as though it also helps with the neuropathy pain. Amazingly I don't have a lot of discomfort during the day, it all begins at night about an hour after I go to bed. I found a great team of neurologists who treat people who have chronic headaches, neuropathy, and other diseases of the nervous system. They sent me early this week to have a lot of blood work done and next week I'll begin a series of nerve block treatments (praying they help). As for medical cannabis, the neurologist discussed that with me, he said that CBD is what they would recommend for me because it works well with pain relief, anxiety and sleep. But when they saw in my medical records that I take blood thinners for Afib they said people who take blood thinners cannot use CBD. Hope you find the heated booties. Also- have a Very Happy and Healthy New Year.

Thanks for the Natra Cure info. I hope to hear back from you about the nerve block tratments. I had a nerve block with my thumb surgery. My hand and arm were freaky for a day or so. I hope you find some relief. I am working on my Quality of Life projects for 2022. Did you give yourself a gift?

May you have comfort and ease.
Chris

where do you get nerve blocks?
