The symptoms that are currently most severe include: tinnitus, insomnia, swollen glands in my throat, head and sinus pressure, head pressure, regulating body temperature and tingling.  Other than the small fiber neuropathy, the doctors I am working with are not sure why I am experiencing all the symptoms I am experiencing.  The antihistamines are no longer working and seem to increase the symptoms.  I have recently just started the Gabapentin for sleep, but it also seems to increase a few of the symptoms.  The steroids increased the intensity of the tingling and burning sensations I am experiencing.
