> [@Small Fiber Neuropathy and EM Correlation](https://forum.livingwitherythromelalgia.org/t/small-fiber-neuropathy-and-em-correlation/3523/12): > > @CarterDK I have actually read all of your posts on it and it opened my eyes up to it. I plan on pushing for either a Prednisone or lidocaine infusion first to see if it can put it in remission completely but mexilitene seems to working wonderfully for you so I hope it could do the same for me. @gwadley that’s really nice actually as I intermittent fast and would have to change my whole diet in order to take it with food if I do. And I actually took a Prednisone pulse back in July as the first … Here is a post of mine from a few days ago. All of my blood tests and MRIs were normal, however, a skin punch biopsy that I pushed for was positive form small fiber neuropathy in my left foot where my symptoms started. Obviously I am not cured yet, but I am going to Mayo Clinic in 2 weeks where they will hopefully be able to put it in remission. I would push for this biopsy test as most EM has been recently shown to be a symptom of small fiber neuropathy which always has a underlying cause, it’s just a matter of finding it which can be difficult. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitherythromelalgia.org/t/recently-diagnosed/3524)._
