Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and it is unfortunate that you have been diagnosed with amyloidosis (same as your brother). This is because it is a genetic disease.

As you mentioned, the best treatment for you would be heart and liver transplantation (as your brother). You can keep in touch with the transplant surgeons for the same.

For neuropathic pain, you could use pregabalin capsules.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
