I’m so sorry. I’m very down also. I’m wishing you a good appointment that will help you. Your probably a lot younger than I am. I’m feeling desperate also.

I’m not that young. I’m 64. Pain started in my mid 50’s. Misdiagnosed and went through 3 different surgeries. It took my 3rd neurologist to properly diagnose it was SFN. But he seemed somewhat surprised it came back positive. After that he seemed at a loss on how to treat it. Just more pills!! I’ve missed out on so many things I wanted to do in retirement. The SFN forced me into an earlier retirement than I planned on. It was a physical job I had been doing over 30 years!!!! Just couldn’t do it anymore. But I also can’t do the activities I so looked forward to doing in retirement. I now live a sedentary lifestyle that was never me!!!! I can’t even dance with my wife!!
So frustrating. So depressing. Hoping for a miracle. But I’ve become quite skeptical. Unfortunately!!!!
