Dear PN Friends,

As you may remember I have profound PN in my legs and feet.

Last year I realized that I had small fiber neuropathy in my arms, hands, fingers, face, lips and tongue.

The pain in my finger tips was like needles jabbing into them.

My neurologist prescribed Gabapentin, and finally at 3600 mg I found relief of the worst symptoms. My face still tingles as I get closer to my next dosage (I divide 3600 mg into three times a day).

What I'm trying to understand is what to expect? Will this SFN progress somehow?

In addition to the discomfort, are there other disabling features to SFN?

I don't have PN in my arms (I've been tested twice).

The PN in my legs and feet has not progressed up my body into my thighs (which was my fear when it was first diagnosed as profound 6 years ago).

It seems that SFN is discussed here a great deal, and I hope there are people who an help me understand what is going on and what to expect.

Hugs, ElaineD
