Can Neuropathy be cured?

My SFN is most likely genetic, because my sister has the same, and my Dad and Granddad have many similar neuropathy issues. I had genetic testing recently, which did not show a genetic cause, but they assured me that new variants were being discovered all the time. So I might be notified two years from now that the variant has been identified. I would like to know eventually, because I think one of my sons has some early signs.

I pray yours is not bad. I have it bad. Gabapentin is causing bad side effects.
