Its good to read you and many others write "heal" . Do you truly believe we can heal? Sorry im just overwhelmed and depressed. I can not for the life of me understand where this "horrible painful illness" came from. I was always healthy and active until one day 2 yrs ago I started having pins and needles in my legs and burning feet at night, its been down hill from there, its all over now.
Im taking many supplemets , even tryed metanx for 2 mos still have many pain symtoms. Tryn lyrica now, can not get past 50mgs once a day, side effects are harsh. I'm feel so hopeless. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Thanks..

Hi Marie,
My SFN started just like yours, out of the blue. I thought I was exceptionally healthy. I tried to eat well and exercised 4-6 times a week. I keep looking but I don't know if they will ever find a cause. I agree with Stacey. I am trying to take control of my health. Doctors can be great and caring but they can only go so far. I have a really hard time taking meds. Try not to be too stressed. My neuropathy gets so much worse when I am. I find that since I have started to be healthy I fell better emotionally. At least I feel I am part of the process in my care. Did you started feeling worse emotionally after you started the Lyrica? I couldn't take it because it caused me to be very depressed and I am not usually. It is not like that for everyone though. Many people find it works great. Keep asking questions. There are some really great people here that are willing to help and have great suggestions.
