Hi Topaz and welcome to the site. I have had small fiber neuropathy for 3 1/2
years now and have not been able to find a cause. I also was in a foreign country befor this happened. I was in China in April and Mexico in June. All of my symptoms started in end of JUly. My doctors also say it is coincidental. They sa if I had gotten a parasite etc it would shhow itself and I would be severly ill. I still wonder sometimes if this all happened from something on one of those trips. I guess I'll never know. Good Luck with everything.
