He couldn't tell me much, said the neuro needs to look at it. I asked if he was positive about the results he said yes.

Hi Canagirl
I've been away so only just caught up with your post.
Sorry that your results for SFN are positive. Sometimes having a definitive diagnosis can be just as devastating as living with the symptoms. From following your earlier posts I know you've had a very difficult time but you always seem willing to explore all possibilities to search for causes and treatments. Don't stop now you have a diagnosis - that includes pain management and your start already on Gabapentin can be included in whatever pain management program is worked out for you. You have nothing to lose by going to talk to them (get recommendations for a good clinic in your area) - and you always have the right to postpone or refuse treatment. I can't emphasize enough how important it is for you to manage your own health - especially a chronic condition. As others have said keep monitoring your treatment and progress.
Try to find some enjoyment each day with your family and be kind to yourself.
Take care canagirl and keep us posted.
