Vitamin B12 deficiency and small fiber neuropathy

I have had neuropathy for almost 40 years and the pain can be excruciating. My doctor had me on the fentanyl patch which did help although it didn’t get rid of it and I also took the maximum dose of Neurontin (Gabapentin) which didn’t help my seizures or the neuropathy. Thankfully, now I only have numbness from my feet up to my waist which the doctors believe caused my ED. Neuropathy is indeed, wicked as it can cause other serious problems. Although it probably wouldn’t be your choice but have you thought about asking your doctor for an opioid for the pain? Have you tried Gabapentin or Lyrica. Another epilepsy medication that may be helpful is Tegretol. I take 1000 mg a day for seizures and I’m wondering if that’s why my neuropathy went from all the painful sensations to numbness. Of course, what works for one may not work for another.
Hope you find a suitable answer to your painful condition soon.
Jake

@jakedduck1 i have not tried any medications besides amitriptyline for a short while. I may began to look at them. Thank you for the advice!
