SFN can cause quite severe autonomic dysfunction affecting important organs. So perhaps it's worth looking into, given your other issues, I don't know.

I'm curious to know what problems SFN causes besides acute discomfort. It doesn't seem to damage anything in my body, but I have had so many other damages so much earlier that I may not have connected SFN with lung damage, or nerve damage to my legs (Profound PN) or all the other miseries.
So many here have SFN and are taking it very seriously. I suppose if it had been the first thing to show up and I was 25, I might have been more worried.
The worst was the feeling of hot needles sticking into the end of my fingers. I'm so glad that is gone.
Hugs, ElaineD
