Hi all, I am Thelma and live outside of Philly. I have technically, small fiber poly neuropathy. I went to a neurologist about 8 - 10 years ago because of numbness occasionally in my toes. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. It continued and became more of a daily issue. I went again about 4 years ago and this time they did all sorts of electrical tests. He told me my diagnosis. I said when do I come back and he said I didn't have to...end of subject. I knew nothing about this and was dumbfounded I was dismissed this way. I've learned about it from the internet and the past 3 years my new family doctors has been very helpful. I take gabapentin 100mg in am and 200 at night.

I belong to travel forums and dog forums and I thought there must be a forum for this...so here I am after a bit of searching. I'm 64, married, have one daughter and 4 step children and a westie named Owin.
