I have had the two tests Emg and skin biopsy. Both were negative. All they offered was Gabapentin. As you know it is only for pain but does not help with the nerves. I need to work on trying to repair the nerves. (Exercise, laser etc) Anything that will help to get the blood to flow.

So, did the neurologist say it wasn’t neuropathy? That’s what mine said. So, despite my symptoms, I believed him. I went on with my life trying to be as healthy as possible….nutritious diet, daily exercise, managing blood sugar better, monitoring Vitamin levels, started talk therapy , etc. So far, the burning has almost completely gone, tingling gone and numbness substantially decreased. I was prescribed meds for symptoms too, but haven’t taken them yet. I don’t really need them now. I anticipate the numbness will eventually go away completely. I hope so. The podiatrist had no options. He said I had good circulation and sensation. He didn’t expect me to have any complications. Regardless of what I have, it’s improving.

Would you qualify for treatments, if you aren’t diagnosed with it. Did they check your Vitamin B12 and D?
