I have mental health problems as well as SFN and like you, I thought it might be all in my head. What happened to you was a form of medical gaslighting. Under any circumstances, the physical must be ruled out before mental health becomes a factor. I actually reported my PCP to the state medical board when something similar happened to me. In my case, every single test I had came back normal which is pretty typical. Remember you know you better than anybody else. Trust your gut.

I agree 100% I disliked it very much when my GP said at my age (84) that my brain wasn't connecting with my knees when they seemed to loose strength and couldn't be relied on to use stairs with out a railing...I am doing full leg lifts for strength and carrying a walking stick for rail-less stairs...or unexpected dizzyness spells because of low BP.
