Hi Debi,

I also have had significant sinus issues since a toboggan vs tree accident when I was in high school....... (After surgery to repair the busted up nose, it looks fine from the outside - but not so much on the inside.) I haven't had much luck with any of the medications, so generally just inhale steam from a rag soaked in hot water when the occasional sinus headaches come on. That usually opens things up for me.

As for my PN, things are still pretty stable. I had an acute onset of SFN symptoms in July of 2014, but things stabilized and haven't really gotten any worse in over two years now. Just praying it stays that way.

I've been doing a very slow taper in my gabapentin dosage over the past several months, and my symptoms haven't really gotten any worse. I've gone from 1800 mg/day to 300 mg/day - and will hopefully be able to get completely off over the next several weeks. But having been on and off of gabapentin before, I know that final step down to zero can be the hardest.
