Same thing with me numbness in both legs and feet lost all hair from the knees down losing balance a lot. Neurologist eventually the medical assistant told me it was diabetes I have insulin resistance very well controlled never have a A1C above 5.9 always been between 5.7 and 5.9 blood sugar fasting between 106 and 118. When I look it up it always says out of control diabetes. So I think he was not able to tell and just said that must be the problem? I think it's more of a spinal thing affecting the nerves coming from my spine through lower back I'm meeting with a back surgeon to go over options with my spine my last MRI showed a bulging disc in the L5 region so I'll go from there and see what happens.

Very interesting…the similarities are uncanny. I think I’m due for more testing. We shall see what they will do. I hope the back surgeon helps you. An odd thing that also happened last summer is my pulse would drop into the 50’s from the 90’s plus. It happened at night when I was having trouble catching my breath with my cpap (when I changed masks it helped the breathing). But the pulse at rest is in the low 60’s. I don’t know how a person goes from 90’s to 60’s for not obvious reason. Until now. Learning the SFN can cause a problem there. Well, I think I need to start with getting a biopsy to see if i have that and if I do I can tell my cardiologist. So much to consider. Feel better.
