Hi I have been told I have small fibre peripheral neuropathy, It started about two years ago with back and leg pain then I noticed I had tingling in my right foot and could not move my toes very much. doctor said I had spinal stenios but was then told I did not. It has now gone to both feet and sometimes my hands are affected as well, my toes feel like I have a band wraped around them and have started to feel the burning that people talk about although when the temp is cooler my feet get cold really easily. I have been put on Cymbalta which has helped with the back pain but am still having a lot of leg pain and I am having trouble sleeping at night, I have also staarted to have tingling feelings in my head, has any one had this. I live in Australia and their is not much information here about it so I sent away for some books from the USA. I am on the waiting list to see a neurolgest but could talk a long time. thanks for listening to me.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, I feel better knowing that their are people who know what I am going through. It is difficult explaining to people who do not have this what you are going through.

Thanks again
