      @Reesa ugh, that's awful. I just got my results, and they found severe small fiber neuropathy in my legs. I'm only 20.. what gives? I can't believe I have the rest of my life for this to keep progressing. It's so nice to have the hard evidence though, so doctors can't blow me off in the same way anymore

      Ugh. I had a biopsy in 2017. My sfn was already advanced. No one listened when I cried about the pain. I thought I was going insane. They thought I was med seeking.

          @hazyeclipse truthfully, even though it often progresses, you will have good days again. And if you stay limber and active through physical therapy, you'll have a lot of them. The pain gets worse then better then bad then tolerable again and in this way, you can totally have a fulfilling life.

      Yes! It took me a while to get diagnosed and people to listen, but it’s hard finding information about it.

      I haven’t gotten a biopsy, but my neurologist said I definitely have it :)
