Fibromyalgia & Small Fiber Polyneuropathy (Full Lecture) | Khosro Farhad, MD

Up to 60% of Fibromyalgia patients in some studies show evidence of Small Fiber Polyneuropathy (SFPN), a condition which shares many symptoms with Fibromyalgia and which may be treatable. Dr. Khosro Farhad spoke about this topic and reviewed recent research on SFPN at a public talk sponsored by the Massachusetts ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) & FM Association on Nov. 14, 2015 at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Newton, Massachusetts.

Dr. Farhad is a neurologist associated with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Portsmouth, NH
