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?

I’ve tried many combinations of meds. Including different antidepressants. None seem to help much. As for alternatives, I’ve tried medicinal THC. No help, and I hate being high. Just makes me more depressed about my pain and loss of mobility. I was very athletic. Skiing, tennis, hiking, golf. All gone!!!!!! As for complementary, not sur what you mean.
