Sudden onset neuropathy and scared

Hi Robin:

I am concerned that small fiber PN would cause the shortness of breath and imbalance that you are feeling - and in such a short time. It can impact autonomic, but there are other autoimmune diseases that impact a person suddenly. I would absolutely get a second opinion about the diagnosis.

My neuropathy came on suddenly but it has progressed slowly and it has been 3 years. Make sure you've ruled out all else. Good luck.

Betty

Are you taking Gabapentin? That gave me shortness of breath. In the insert's teeny-tiny print, that is listed as a side effect. My PCP had me do a taper to get off it.
