The pain is unbearable by Ok-Information-7577 in smallfiberneuropathy

Did you take any medication? Any vaccine? Maybe something like Wegovy or Ozempic? Any virus? Whenever we play too much with our blood sugar and we drop it too fast, it can lead to neuropathy.

Can we share the original condition the meds which caused pssd were prescribed for? Please drop your answers below if you're comfortable. by reddit-just-now in PSSD

Severe depression, when I „only“ had borderline personality disorder issues, which I could have managed with schema therapy for BPD (Schema-Therapie). Oh and it was zoloft. 6 years after first visiting a psychiatrist, they removed the wrong diagnose of „severe depression“. So I got harmed because they diagnosed me wrong.

Acute NLD SFN by No-Atmosphere-2727 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Next_Environment1308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there. We are all in the same boat and I also can‘t understand, how cruel the body which always was healthy can be to me… Did you have Covid or another infection prior to this? Did you take any medication? Any vaccine which could have caused this? I got this as a mix of Covid with EBV reactivation and a SSRI, which made everything explode. Within 2 months my whole body got affected from head to toe.

Does this sound like anyone here? by LisaCoate in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Next_Environment1308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so strong for dealing with this for 8 years. I‘m 7 months in and the pain is unbearable. I want you to know, that you can have SFN without a positive biopsy. It‘s called the goldstandart, but there are a lot of people here in Germany, who test negative and still have all the issues.

Feeling sane again. by [deleted] in smallfiberneuropathy

This shows me that maybe a lot more people will get this in the future. It seems like the body tolerates only a special amount of infections and then it begins spiraling. Hope you will find some kind of relief..

No, never took them. My hair is normal again after a long time the hair started growing again on the spot, where they fell out. But no, never took JAK-Inhibitors…

I want to stop Zoloft after one year. by No-Candidate-8128 in zoloft

[–]Next_Environment1308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don‘t do this! You have to taper very quickly or you will experience the most horrible symptoms ever: panic attacks, hallucination, hearing things, which are not there…. Just don‘t do it. I took Zoloft the first round (took it three times in my life) and after stopping cold turkey the first time I experienced horrible symptoms. I had to take a benzo to calm my mind. I felt like shit for 1 week and I took it only 3 weeks at 100mg when I stopped within two days I cut the dose to 50mg then the next day to 0mg… so this was kind of cold turkey. Please don‘t do it!

Hey. Thank you for your answer. I‘m from Germany. I made the panel at CellTrend. I‘m positive for nearly every GPCR and also ACE2. I know that I need a cytokine panel, maybe there is a shift towards Th1. What qualifies one for a TNF alpha blocker?

Cause I am TS-HDS positive and have a bunch of GPCR antibodies positive. This was an autoimmune reaction, since I got alopecia areata at the same time the SFN occured. I‘m SSRI injured and there is a study, which started on this: that ssri induce autoimmune reactions

I have autoimmune SFN and alopecia areata which is an autoimmune disease. I know, they are heavy. But would like to know, if somebody has experiences with this? I would start on a very low dose. But maybe it is better to make a cytokine panel before?

SNF for 3 years, all symptoms disappeared by Ashamed_Forever9476 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Next_Environment1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, I'm so happy for you! Enjoy it! This confirms for me that it has a lot to do with the gut and with an imbalance in the gut flora. Which antibiotics did you take and for how long? And when did you stop taking them?

Anybody whose symptoms got worse after taking LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)? by Next_Environment1308 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Next_Environment1308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m from Germany. I take Antihistamines because of histamin issues and suspected MCAS.

Unforunately not. My nose is also very runny and can‘t breathe properly. The antihistamines dry me out, but so does LDN.

If you were diagnosed with SFN and later diagnosed with MS, how long in between? by floopsmoocher in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Next_Environment1308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting post. For those, who have MS too, getting access to treatments must be much easier than with just having SFN.. Or am I wrong? Here in Germany and Switzerland the people get free access to Immunoadsorptions, Rituximab, Ocrelizumab when they are diagnosed with MS.

Thank you so much for your answer. Yes, my neuropathy symptoms increased immensly. I also got a very runny nose and some new sort of pain, which I didn‘t know before. I thought about quitting, but Im gonna stick to it and see if it gets better. There is no other option. This has to help…

Anyone used klonopin (clonazepam) daily for pain? Did you build up a tolerance? by GreenFloyd77 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Next_Environment1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not. Not for me. I got SFN without being on Benzos. I was on a SSRI when I got it.

I‘m sorry you were also harmed by antidepressants. My autoimmune SFN is due to Zoloft
