Help for Peripheral Neuropathy Pain?

Has anyone found any useful treatments of any kind to help with peripheral neuropathy? I had an EMG that came back normal. They're still thinking it could be small fiber neuropathy. I have an MRI scheduled, and there'll be a biopsy sometime after that. But I am in constant pain, which spikes to severe with pretty much any movement. Full legs, buttocks. Feet have been spared so far. But it's been spreading and getting worse for the last year. Gabapentin and ibuprofen are useless. I react badly to most new meds I try. Nortriptyline, starting with a super low dose is next to try. I don't have high hopes.

Dealing with Weak Hands and Feet Due to Small Fiber Neuropathy

My hands are weak and it frustrates me. I get exhausted trying to open jars sometimes. Any hand exercises or something to build up grip strength? My small fiber neuropathy makes it really hard to feel how strong I’m grabbing or pulling something. I can’t gauge it at all. Does anybody else have this problem? It can effect my feet as well, and sometimes I will brake too hard while driving because I can’t tell how hard I’m pressing on the pedal. Oh! And I can’t wear normal shoes because they rip the skin off my feet and leave wounds that take weeks to heal. The scars are still there from when I tried sneakers. I always need flip flops or some super cushioned boots for winter. My small fiber neuropathy effects my feet and hands, does anyone know anything that could have manage these symptoms?

I get severe itching in hands and feet as soon as I try to sleep. I tried to avoid so many foods thinking it’s an allergy to someone, but nothing helped.

Thank you

Anyone else apply for disability because of this? What was the outcome?
