I was diagnosed about a month ago with small fiber neuropathy, caused by an auto immune disorder. Unfortunately my Neurologist left the practice and moved out of state. He put me on 20mg of Prednisone and a small dose of gabapentin for pain. So far no results for the pain. On the plus side the prednisone has had an unintended success for my chronic plantar fascitis and both of my hands are almost pain free. I met with a Nurse Practitioner until I go to a new Neurologist next month. She wants me off the prednisone and upped my gabapentin dose, also consulted with her on-staff Neurologist who has not seen me, he said I did not have an auto immune disorder. I am confused and not yet willing to be off the Prednisone even though it has a number of side effects. I am thinking I will cut my dose of prednisone in half until I see new doc. Any thoughts?
