Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

Posted by lisadog33 @lisadog33, Mar 28, 2017

I have been diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy. My problem is this. Since before they diagnosed me, I was having other symptoms that I thought were not related including loss of appetite/weight loss, bladder control, bowel control, problem with eyesight at times, tremors, sleep issues among some other things. I was told by my Neurologist that those things are not related to small fiber neuropathy but when I look it up, it says it can affect your autonomic nervous system. What is the truth. I am having a heck of a time with bladder and bowel issues as well as either sleeping through the alarm or not sleeping at all. I hope someone can shed some light on this for me. Thank you.

Ouch! I went to Duke neurology for assessment of my neuropathy. "yes, you have small fiber neuropathy, go find a rheumatologist." Can you suggest a neurologist and/or rheumatologist at Duke that treat small fiber neuropathy?

@total99 any luck at Duke? They have been researching hypnosis for lots of afflictions.
