I'm sorry about what's happening to you and that you've had to come here for that reason, but this is a good place for help and empathy. You've received good advice so far. I just want to reiterate that many of us who have neuropathy here have at some point in the process of diagnosis encountered physicians who out of laziness, stupidity, ignorance or some combination (or whatever other reason) attributed the cause of our symptoms to some underlying psychological or psychiatric reason. That includes me. The first neurologist I saw didn't even know what small fiber neuropathy was and how to diagnose it. After multiple nerve conduction studies, he told me I seem very stressed, anxious and that I just needed to exercise, calm down and I would be fine. He was an idiot and I had the neurologist who diagnosed me with a skin punch biopsy send a copy of the report to him, so he would know that.

Best of luck getting to the bottom of what's going on!
