Hi,

Thanks for the above replies/suggestions.

It's not about the money itself. It's about leaving appointments with basically nothing to show for it. If there had been, fine.

Or if I'd been told right away by the first neuros that there isn't a whole lot that can be done for non-length dependent SFSN, but they didn't. They just never scheduled a follow-up appointment after tons of tests were done and after they were told I couldn't tolerate meds. I should have taken the hint.

Am wondering if there is anything under the sun that might help stop most of my clothes feeling like burlap. Non-length dependent small fiber sensory can be difficult at best and impossible at worst.

As to some of the meds mentioned here, am not willing to make the trade-off because of being very susceptible to side-effects which can happen in older people. Lyrica made me feel as if my head was spacing out, and with gabapentin could not focus my eyes.
