Sure, Ken. I was only suggesting (or meant to do so) that I would love to hear from SFN people. And I'm not even sure I have non-length dependent, at least in the form outlined by the literature. Categories are tricky things and they know so little about SFN other than that it's neuropathy restricted to small fibers. Until recently not really even that much.

Thank you for your kind words and advice. You're, of course, right about the need for core work. At that time, they thought it could be mechanical and were worried, since everything I did or they did with me made things worse. the physical therapists even refused to see me, since they were honest that they were worried. Once all the MRIs were in and it was clear that despite the herniations, the symptoms were not due to mechanical issues, or so we think now, they started to help. I'm back in the gym now, slowly, and in the next week or two I might start (very slowly) with some weights too. This is coming from a guy who used to do very heavy weights. I can tell that when I exercise I feel better and when I don't I feel worse. And who knows what the future holds, perhaps one day I won't be able to exercise, so I better take advantage now.

The symptoms all all over the place and in recent days my legs have gotten worse, almost like the summer. The left one hurts from the knee down, especially in the knee, the joints and muscles and all, as though there is poison in my limps. It drains my energy so easily. I think it could be the very low vitamin D, which I tried introducing, but had to cut out due to possible GI connection. I will reintroduce it on Sunday or Monday and see where it goes. I felt much better when I was taking the D3/K2.

Anyway, I hope you're feeling well, or better, and had a great Christmas. Thanks again for your response.
