Welcome Bjnoble :)
So nice to meet u. I was diagnosed in Sept of this year with SFN via skin punch biopsy of the ankle. It mostly affects my feet but is also in my hands. I was never put on prednisone for this but have seen many posters that have been on it and felt great until they went off it. I'm on gabapentin and have gone from 300 (May 2013) mg a day to 1800 mg a day....I'm now in the middle of titrating up to 2700 mg.
What dosage of gabapentin are u on now ? My SFN is diabetes/chemo related and I've only been dealing with this for 6 months now. Mine was a sudden onset after chemo ended.
I am personally scared to use prednisone for I have seem what my husband has been through using it for back issues.
Pls keep us posted and I'm sure you will be hearing from more people on here.
