Thanks, Patrick. Yes, you're right. As I mentioned, I've been on the Ketogenic diet for some time, months in fact, and have lost about 50 lbs, and my symptoms are much better, not to mention my energy levels. And yes, at one point I did break it and I immediately and for sometime after felt the effects.

However, recently my symptoms have expanded to regions where they weren't present before and I'm also now experiencing something new, namely, burning. I wonder if this is because a few weeks back I broke my diet or for some other reason, difficult to tell. I still would take this diet over anything else. I don't touch carbs and sugar, and many other things that are unhealthy or difficult to break down: it's basically my self-designed ketogenic autoimmune protocol and it has done wonders for me.

What I was more so asking/wondering about is how much of his general advice is applicable to SFN, since it seems more concerned with large nerves, though perhaps I'm wrong here even though he doesn't mention SFN, and regardless perhaps it would be applicable anyway. My primary concern is to what extent SFN can heal or go into remission. I'd love to hear from SFN people about their journey's and experiences, especially those who have seen improvement or even remission. I guess I'll find out about myself at some point - still searching for the cause - since I plan to be on the ketogenic diet for some time to come.

Try the diet for two weeks. Then go and try something processed, sugary, loaded with gluten or the like. Your body will react almost immediately with intense nerve pain. Best test is a donut from Dunkin' Donuts. Within 2 bites you will want to die.

I like that he says it can be reversed in 1-3 years. That is assuming you are dealing with the possible causes that are idiopathic or unknown. So, you basically have to treat your body assuming you have a condition - which kind of stinks. Thats why so many of us are willing to be guinea pigs with supplements and alternative treatments.
