My husband (we think) has SFN… waiting on results. Has anyone tried massage, PT or acupuncture? I have a friend who says acupuncture works if you give it 5 tries… any feedback? This would be through a Neuromuscular MD..
Thanks
Sheila 🙂

I've never tried it. Waiting for information on my tests and waiting to see
what natural things can help

Good morning @sma2day and @dancing1

Hi there to both of you, so glad to see you on Connect. It sounds like you may have a need for some massage attention. So let me introduce you to MFR, (myofascial release therapy). The massage has been a salvation for me since my SFN diagnosis 10 years ago. And one of our mentors has developed a discussion that you might find helpful. Here's the Connect link:

If @jenniferhunter has a chance to read your posts today, maybe she can step in with an introduction,

What areas of your body are most impacted by SFN symptoms?

May you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.

Chris

Hi,
I have small fiber neuropathy, with my main problem being hot, burning feet. I tried 10 acupuncture treatments with no help. Have also tried numerous drugs with no help. Very frustrating disease.
