Hi,

My nerve skin biopsy recently proved what I've known for a year--SFN. I am in constant 24/7 pain mostly in my feet. I am taking Horizant, a new form of gabapentin (tried the others, including Lyrica and had bad reactions). I think it helps a touch. I also use lidocaine patches, which also help a touch. Doctor wanted to apply Qutera prescription capsaicin patches but they are $1500 and I have a prescription max. Next is to consult about a nerve stimulator. I am desperate so I really don't care if wires are sticking in my spine. No doctor will give me pain medication (very hard to get pain meds in New York state unless you are elderly, dying, or in a wheelchair). So, I suffer every day. Life sucks! I am not diabetic, more low sugars than anything. All roads lead to the fact I was given Levaquin and steroids for sepsis last year, aka Fluoroquinolone Toxicity. DO NOT ever take Cipro, Levaquin, or Avelox if you have neuropathy!!!
