At a Glance Up to 50% of “idiopathic” small fiber neuropathy cases may be autoimmune in origin – meaning the immune system is attacking the nerves. Sjögren’s syndrome is the leading autoimmune cause, followed by celiac disease, lupus, sarcoidosis, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Specialized antibody testing – TS-HDS and FGFR3 antibodies – can identify autoimmune SFN,…
Red light therapy produces real, measurable results, but timelines vary by condition and depend on device quality, consistency, and individual biology. Here’s what clinical studies actually show.
At a Glance Per-session cost: $250-$1,500 depending on dose (250mg to 1,000mg+). Full protocol cost: $1,500-$9,000 for a typical 4-6 session course. Most common dose: 500mg at $400-$800 per infusion. Infusion time: 2-6 hours depending on dose and tolerance (a major factor in the cost). Insurance: Not covered. NAD+ IV therapy is entirely out-of-pocket. Cheaper…
Eczema treatment has moved far beyond steroid creams. Here’s the full treatment ladder from moisturizers to dupilumab, with realistic expectations for each.
Diet alone won’t cure Hashimoto’s, but the right food choices can lower antibody levels, reduce inflammation, and help your thyroid medication work better. Here’s what the research supports.
PRP injection recovery follows a predictable timeline from initial inflammation through tissue maturation. Here is a day-by-day breakdown of what to expect, what to avoid, and when you can return to normal activity.
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide do more than control blood sugar and weight. Emerging evidence points to significant anti-inflammatory effects with implications for autoimmune and cardiovascular disease.
Fibro fog is one of the most frustrating symptoms of fibromyalgia. Learn why cognitive dysfunction happens in fibromyalgia, what the proposed mechanisms are, and which treatments (from sleep optimization to NAD+ and neurofeedback) actually help.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers pressurized oxygen to boost tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. Here’s what the evidence says about its benefits, approved uses, and what a session actually looks like.
At a Glance Multiple clinical trials (including from Stanford University) show LDN can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms by approximately 30 percent. LDN works through a different mechanism than standard fibromyalgia drugs, it modulates glial cell activation and reduces neuroinflammation. Typical dosing starts at 0.5 mg and titrates up to 4.5 mg at bedtime over several weeks….
Eczema flares rarely happen at random. Environmental irritants, allergens, weather changes, stress, infections, and food can all provoke atopic dermatitis. Here’s how to identify your personal triggers and build effective avoidance strategies.
