so.....find a muscle and nerve "diagnosing doctor only". These kind of doctors only run extensive tests, I mean extensive tests. All my results came back normal, as they are supposed too, except the biopsies. All of them came back showing "small fiber neuropathy". He then sent me on my way saying I just have to live with this, there is no cure and the best option is to find a "pain management" doctor who will prescribe meds to help you get through this. My small fiber affects me from my shoulders to my feet, and also is now affecting my bladder. For me, resting is the worse thing I can do, seems laying down makes it worse. I live day to day not knowing how I will feel when I wake up. I do not take the narcotics that they prescribe. However, I do take a medicine called Gralise (it's in the gabapentin family). This has made me 50 percent better. Remember all tests will come back normal until they do the biopsies which will then show small fiber. Hope this helps
