small fiber neuro
Hi everyone, my name is Dee, just to give a little background about myself, I have had neuropathy for four years my internal medicine doc or neurologist doc can't find any reasons why I have this. 2 weeks ago I had intense testing at the Nerve and Muscle center of Houston to try and find the underlying reason for my neuropathy. The results were, I do NOT have diabetes, nor any thyroid condition and all vitamin levels were good. However, after various skin biopsies were taken they revealed I have small fiber neuropathy. I am currently taking Gabapentin, 1800 mg/day, went up to 2400 mg and blacked out. I do not smoke or drink and cannot handle the pills very well so I went down to 600 mg yesterday. I am in such dire pain from my shoulders to my feet. Any suggestions from small fiber patients out there?
