Small Fiber Neuropathy discouraged
I had minimal health issues until the fall of 2019. My general practioner dc'd a medication cold turkey. This caused small fiber neuropathy. It took two years to diagnose and treat. I spent two years in my husbands arms screaming and crying. In February of 2021 my neurologist placed me on 40 mg of prednisone. I reacted poorly, without pain relief. He was ruling out poly rheumatatica. In June the dictor removed Gabapentin from my allergy list . The nurse stated I would not have the same response. I did. It was hell. By this time the neurologist was uncomfortable taporing me off of prednisone. I have been taporing for slmost a year. The tapor is hell. Im currently on 6 mg. I am currently being treated for pain. The prednisone tapor is suppose to last until Dec. I lost almost everything in the last 3 years. I keep on trying. I wont stop trying to feel better.
