I'm 78yrs old now. I was finally diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy several yrs ago. It was puzzling why it presented that way. Awhile later, it occurred to me that I was a heavy alcohol drinker until about age 30yrs. I mentioned it to my doctor and was told it could cause it. The affected area is just on the facial side, down to behind the toes. I experience all the sensations such as tingling, burning, numbness. After trying a few medications, which none helped, I was started on Amitriptyline and it was substantial help immediately. That's what I take now. I discovered a balm called +Plus CBD, 100mg. When it bothers me more than usual, I apply the balm to the affected area and it gives substantial relief. It's something I live with anymore - don't know if this helps anyone but that's my experience.

Thanks for sharing what works for you. How did you discover these medications? I am sure other members would like to know. Sometimes it seems like such a big, messy world and it is hard to trust some of the promotors and their ad campaigns.
