Sorry for probably repeating myself, but I was unable to tolerate the usual suspect meds (gabapentin, Lyrica, etc.).
So - does anybody here honestly know whether or not there is anything other than those meds that will take the edge off small fiber sensory neuropathy?
If there isn't, then I'm done paying co-pays if neuros/rheumys can't do anything else for the SFSN and things stay stable. About mid-way through this search, I had a pain management neuro tell me, quite honestly, that he couldn't help me. He didn't keep taking my money, and I appreciated that.
Thanks,

Have you tried Topamax, Amitriptyline, Tizanidine, or Cymbalta? I've been on all those except Cymbalta.
