Hi all, still fairly new here. I have been diagnosed with moderate-severe small fiber neuropathy at age 21. Right now I seem to be having luck using 60mg of Cymbalta, B12, and alpha lipoic acid, to control the pain. After all of the blood work, still no cause. Sunday, I finally left the hospital after a week long stay, due to severe myositis in my right calf. They did 2 DVT studies and an MRI, and determined nothing. I was treated with a few rounds of vancomycin, and a lot of IV corticosteroids. The swelling is down, and the pain is mostly gone, but the doctors never figured out why it happened. I am still taking oral prednisone to ween myself all the way off the steroids. I am starting to get really scared of what is to come next. I guess I really want to know, if anybody has anything like this, or has had similar experiences.

Thank you,
Joe V
