Jim. 66. Was healthy and strong. Always very physically fit and never overweight. Was diagnosed with non-length dependent small fiber neuropathy about 11 years ago after various symptoms started showing up. It’s gotten worse and worse over the years. I’ve “tried it all” to no avail. It’s only by the grace of God that I haven’t killed myself.

Hey there Jim @jemock. I have empathy for your long journey with neuropathy, you are not alone. Coming to Connect hopefully offers supportive encouragement.

I read that you experience a plethora of symptoms. That certainly takes a toll if you aren't equipped with coping mechanisms and tools to manage.

You may be interested in learning about central sensitization syndrome and how it can be responsible for central nervous system dysfunction. Are you familiar with CSS?
