I was diagnosed 3 years ago with SFN. It’s truly a nightmare!!!! Have been maxed out gabapentin for 2 years. Not much help. Currently on lyrica. Not much better. Occasionally need opioids to cope with pain. But I hate all pills!!!! Awaiting an appointment with an SFN specialist at Mass General Hospital, but it’s not until January. Very depressed!!!!!!

Hello @budjo611, Welcome to Connect. You are not alone with hating all pills and being depressed over the pain from small fiber neuropathy. I hope you find out more and are able to get a treatment that provides more relief at your upcoming SFN specialist appointment at MGH. There are a few sites that can help you learn more about neuropathy and possible treatments that might provide some relief.
— Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
— Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview.

Have you done any research on complementary or alternative treatments for neuropathy?
