Good evening @blaircrossan, welcome to Connect, a very active Neuropathy Support Group. If I read your introduction correctly, you are saying that viruses from a previous medical condition caused your idiopathic neuropathy. When were you diagnosed with neuropathy? I am so sorry that you have not received an appropriate response from medical professionals. Are you taking any pain medication? Many of the Connect members have found that neuropathy symptoms first appear in the hands and feet.

Perhaps it would be best to start your discussions with other members after you have had a chance to gather information contained in the following sites.
https://www.foundationforpn.org/. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy
https://neuropathycommons.org/. Neuropathy Commons

As a mentor, my experience comes from 11 years of SFN (small fiber neuropathy). Did anyone mention SFN to you? Did you have a skin biopsy to validate SFN?

I will look forward to your next post.
May your struggles and sorrows be eased
Chris

I know that I have small fiber neuropathy because I had a skin biopsy after my complaint that my feet were numb.
