Hi! I too am new to the site. I have been treated for Diabetic PN for the past three years with Gabapentin and Cymbalta. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. When the Gabby wasn't working the dose was increased. I had nerve conduction and emg done in December 2019 -results were normal. Dr. performing procedures asked if neurologist had mentioned small fiber neuropathy. No... never heard of it. We'll, by time my Neuro appt would have been Covid stopped the world. Finally gotten back to Neuro and finally correctly diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy AND fibromyalgia. For time being we decided to add an additional 20 mgs to my Cymbalta as most of the time the Gabby is sufficient. I'm usually in pain but I can control it most times. I do have bad balance issues and use forearm crutches, rollater and canes to move around. The meds, plus others I take, make me flaky but I'm alive.
Sorry for the length.
