I have been struggling with nerve pain which started last September in my right arm which has slowly spread to both arms, hands, feet,legs and face, with random burning patches elsewhere, also balance problems, after much testing mri etc etc my neuro said as everything else is normal it must be small fibre neuropathy. He gave me no other information even when I quizzed him. Just that he'd see me in three months and have a px for tregatol to add to the gabapentin and I will see you in three months.

I do have gritty eyes, sexual dysfunction/ dryness as. Well

I have kept a diary over the last few months and have noticed a definite increase in pain/symptoms for about a week before my period, anyone else noticed this?

My neuro did not seem interested in finding an underlying cause how important is it to peruse both a fully confirmed diagonosis and the cause?

I am feeling pretty crappy about it all and abandoned by the neuro with no info
