@Gingergrrl Not yet, all I got so far was my first denial for IVIG. I hope it will eventually come through. Also hoping that the side effects won't be severe enough to stop it. I can't tolerate gabapentinoids and anti-depressants, the first line treatments for SFN.

Another option to the typical neuropathic pain meds is transdermal glyceryl trinitrate. The only studies into this has been in those with Diabetic Neuropathy but I find that oral nitrates I take for intestinal ischemia helps me with the neuropathic pain in my feet and calves too and I'm not diabetic.
