Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I was recently diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. I've had pain in my feet (primarily left), knees, hands, chest pains, heart palpitations and dizziness. Nerve conduction tests were negative, but my Neurologist performed 5 punch biopsies from my ankle up to my upper arm and they all came back positive for small fiber neuropathy. I am taking 600 mg of gabapentin for 2 weeks and will move up to 800 mg 3 times a day. I have primary Sjogren's syndrome.

I had some type of neuropathy for about two years, not much help from local University Medical area, then research food medicine. Turmeric helped, a small daily dose. And started a supportive spiritual communication in Philippines on line, helpful. Was short of traveling to Mayo. Recovered from neuropathy in about two years. Recently with some dizziness(again, a foggy term: can be veritgo(positional ), imbalance(proprioceptive), but with second inspection to my MRI over a year ago(first by Radiologist), and now Neurologist), seems no physical cause(tumor or bleed). The symptoms of dizziness are less, and good sign in neurology. Much research on science level in food medicine today, and don't over look spiritual support systems, even if you do not believe.
