Covid Cured My SFN
This may be my last post, folks. I've been cured.
It was suspected that the covid vaccine may have triggered my small fiber neuropathy (all of my skin feeling as though it was badly sunburned). I have been taking pregabalin to deaden the nerves and lessen the pain. It worked, but left me frustratingly drowsy. I have a demanding career, so drowsiness doesn't fit in very well.
Just 8 months after developing SFN, I caught the covid virus. It hit me pretty hard, and 12 days later, when the virus was gone, so was my SFN. I still have some lingering symptoms, but they are tolerable and I no longer need meds. Yay!

@notasunburn, I’m glad that your SFN symptoms have subsided. I moved your newest message to the original discussion you started.

Very happy for you to have made it through Covid and SFN! Amazing how both conditions affect people differently. Do you still use the whimsofmethod?
