I am so sorry to hear of your pain. Has your neuro done any tests to confirm the SFN ? And what type of infusion did you have ? lignocaine....I don't recognize that name.
Sometimes I sleep all night long and then some and sometimes I don't sleep at all. I had someone on here recommend Ambien to help me sleep. It is by prescription. Maybe you can ask your dr about it or something similar.
If I stand too long or walk too much I pretty much have to hobble to a chair. That's why I'm home 99% of the time. I did manage to go to Home Depot last night and buy 3 plants for my yard....I've been wanting them for months....Even went out to dinner with my daughter and son-in-law....I'm paying for it today but it was well worth it.
Take care and please keep me posted on your treatment.
