I tried Gabapentin - for three months and did not like how I felt. The doctor's office said give it time your body will get used to that feeling. That was baffling to me. I don't want to MASK my SFN, I want to know why and how can I feel better. This group has helped me to open my eyes and to start researching more on my own. Just understanding and reading other comments helps me be more hopeful. Thank you.

I do not understand SFN. What is the name of the test that concluded SFN? For example my EMG results indicates (paraphrasing), a severe peripheral polyneuropathy, where the disfuntion is in sensori-motor axonal signaling, and "poly" meaning multiple nerves in all peripheral limbs: hands and arms; feet and legs.

Could it be that SFN is also included it my report or is SNF a different diagnosis resolved from a lab distinct from EMG? I received an explanation of my lab result in Spanish, my second language, so I could not ask further questions.
