I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. All I've been offered was neurontin. I'm taking 1800 mg. a day and have been getting acupuncture which helps. The pain is really problematic and I'm having trouble with my balance and get very light headed. The neurontin gives me trouble with my short term memory so I'm looking for ways to minimize the need for drugs. I am wondering if anyone has tried high power laser therapy.
