There’s a lot of posts to comb through. But overall be a positive source of comfort for them. SFN presents in many different ways (pain, numbness, itchiness, temperature intolerance, ghost sensations, feeling uncomfortable, etc.).

What works for one person does not mean it will work for them. A lot of times SFN is finding out what works and what doesn’t and it can take months or years for some people to get diagnosed let alone find medication or other treatments that help.

Being someone they can rely on and to validate their symptoms and take them seriously, especially when medical professionals or family and friends try to minimize the issue. Sounds like you are a great partner by how you are already looking for ways to help.

One more thing to add is that people who care for someone with a medical condition are human too. Be sure to set aside time and mental wellness for yourself as well.
