Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

I’m 50 and have been diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction and small fiber neuropathy and am non diabetic. I feel my condition getting worse but the fatigue is ruining what little bit of enjoyment I have left. What can I do to help this?

Thank your for your reply’s. Good luck to yourself.
Hello @chungaz and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry that your fatigue is impacting your life so significantly.
You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on a similar topic:

What course of action/treatment has your neurologist suggested following diagnosis?

I also have SFN with autonomic dysfunction. Have you been tested for rheumatology issues? You may also have an immune issue that is causing extreme fatigue. I had the same issue and found I have RA, Sjogren's, and CVID on top of the SFN which caused me great distress. I would suggest seeing your Primary to have further testing to see if there is something else. Like me, the drs were looking for one problem but I actually had multiple problems.
