@steveny9, My Mayo primary care doc prescribed 300 mg gabapentin when I first complained and was looking for help for the numbness and some tingling in my feet from neuropathy which I had for over 20 years. I had avoided seeking a diagnosis because my previous PCPs had told me I could have some nerve testing done but there was nothing they could do for the numbness so I didn't seek a diagnosis. After taking the gabapentin for a couple of weeks I met with my PCP and told her it wasn't helping, then she brought in a couple more Mayo docs on her team who said gabapentin wouldn't help unless you have neuropathic pain. Then I setup an appointment with the Mayo neurologist, got tested and found out, yes you have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy and there isn't any medication that helps. That's what started my journey on Connect and learning more about my condition.

Best thing you can do for yourself is to keep searching, reading and learning as much as you can about your symptoms, conditions and possible treatments. My two go to sites for neuropathy are:
--- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
--- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/

Sounds very familiar.
