Its very difficult, but dont want my kids to worry and dont want to give up. I have just started lyrica, will let you know how that works. I tried gabapentin w not much luck. Many good recommendations in these threaçds for supplements and possible causes, I have just started to explore, new to this too. You absolutely need a new neurologist. And I am sure eventually that doctor will do a skin biopsy which I think is the only way they can diagnose SFN, though the symptoms alone certainly sound like it.
