Hey Synnove,

My DX is Autoimmune small fiber neuropathy with autonomic symptoms.
Mostly my muscle pulls are in the neck and lower back. When one heals up and stops being an issue, the other seems to get aggravated.
I do have a little joint issues, probably from working out 23 years.
I try to keep stretched out, but it is a fine line to how much stretching I can tolerate before something pulls.
Massage helps, but only after things have calmed down for the neck. Lower Back massage helps. Cant really afford a massage every week, although I'm sure it would help.

You mentioned joint pains too. A lot of autoimmune diseases causes jointpains.

The Plaquinil did not help much. ( the plaquinil takes months to take effect. I was on it for 6 months when we switched to Methatrexate. I think the Methatrexate has been helping some. During flare ups, the Prednisone helped me.
But the Lyrica helpes as a pain reliever only, and makes the burning pain less.
I will be seeing a new neurologist en 2 weeks, that a lical support group recomended. I think he will be a little more aggresive as far as the neuropathy symptoms goes. This doctor is a NEUROMUSCULAR SPECIALIST, so I am thinking this make sense as far as the cramping of muscles.
I hope you get answers to your symptoms soon
