I suppose that could count as failure.
I'm asking all of these questions because so many drs don't know how to treat neuropathies and you have given us some valuable information. Unless you have a great specialist, your local neuro, I believe, doesn't know much about good treatments or the newest "thing" out there. Not that they are not interested. I think they just don't have the time, which is unfortunate for us.
I'll be doing some research on PID. I do hope your treatment works for you and that it makes you feel wonderfully better.

Check the medications you were prescribed for your sinus infections. There are medications (cipro, levaquin, Avelox) that are known to cause small fiber neuropathy.
