Suggest Treatment For Small Fiber Neuropothy
I have been diagnosed with small fiber neuropothy. I am not diabetic. I am thinking of taking alpha lipoid acid but do not know the brand and how much to I should take. I have also taken antibiotics that contain fluoroquinolones which I understand could be the cause of the peripheral neuropothy. Please tell me what you recommend Thank you, Kathy

First of all , i would like to ask you that on what basis you was diagnosed to have small fiber neuropathy?
If the diagnosis is right, it need to evaluate more to find out the cause of neuropathy. Till cause is not found, the treatment is symptomatic to relieve the tinglings in your limbs. and the medicines helpful are- gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine and few more.
If cause is found out, the treatment will be based of what cause is detected
