Thanks Ginnie. One of the docs I've been seeing, in addition to neurologists, is a pain management expert/physiatrist at a major center in the DC area. He has no other ideas for me, so I guess I'll have to find someone else. I wonder if there are others on NeuroTalk who, for lack of a better way to put it, "have what I have." This kind of non-length dependent SFN is apparently extremely rare, and I haven't really found anyone with whom to compare notes. Certainly not in my everyday life. In fact, I might be one of a handful of people at most with this condition in a major metropolitan area of 3 million plus people. Crazy...
