Members @su8 @dsh33782 and @kenab have joined you to share with you already.

Have you talked to your neurologist about physical therapy as a potential recommendation?

Try Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) It really works.
I’ve had SFN in my feet for 14 years and after trying everything imaginable I participated in the webinar with Dr. Kapural, who is the founder of the Chronic Pain Research Institute at Wake Forest University, School of Medicine.
I was very impressed & hopeful that LDN was the answer for the pain in my feet & lower back.
LDN is working after only 3 months and has changed my life in many ways. The pain in my feet is practically gone, as well as the pain in my back and I’m walking longer distances than I have in years.
I am starting to titrate off Lyrica, which I have been on since the beginning of my diagnosis and I look forward to further improvement as the days go on.
It may take up to 8 to 10 weeks for low dose naltrexone to work. It is important to keep taking it until at least then to know if it works for you.
A doctor can prescribe it and it must be compounded by a pharmacist from 50mg’s down to 4.5 milligrams.
It’s worth the effort, for sure!
