SoftWalker...way to keep your sense of humor

My neurologist is the one my primary care doc yields to for treatment and monitoring of my neuropathy. He's the one who prescribed gabapentin for me which I took for awhile, but have since stopped. I think I would have needed to up the dosage to get relief, and just decided to try to adjust and try other things before going that route.

An integrative med doc I saw briefly, though, was the one who prescribed the lidocaine patches and told me that alpha lipoic acid has been known to help small fiber neuropathy. I think it has helped me some in that I don't have the stabbing nerve pain as often as I once did. That's something you might want to consider if it doesn't conflict with your other meds.
