Hi Everyone

Great to find this site. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on here.

I've been diagnosed with small fibre neuropathy after I was poisoned earlier this year. I wondered if there are people on here with neuropathy following exposure to toxic substances. My neurologist has been great and she is referring me on to a professor who specialises in SFN. The thing is, although she has been able to explain why I have the pain, numness etc in my limbs, there are other symptoms which are very distressing which I don't have answers for yet. The worst is a weird kind of numbness around my throat, which comes and goes. Also, I seem to be very sensitive now to things which didn't cause problems before. Eg if I drink alcohol it really aggravates the pain, plus last week I was in a room where someone was doing some cleaning with solvents, which were quite strong smelling. That night, my symptoms went into overdrive and it took me two days to back to some kind of normal, although now with this, things are not normal anymore.
