Hi Lauren @laurenstedman, Wow! I see that you have been a member since 2012 and this is your first post so I would like to officially welcome you to Connect. I found Connect in 2016 and was also excited to know there were other members with the same problem I have.
If you haven't already checked out the search function of Connect at the top of any page, give it a try. There have been some major improvements to the search in the past year or so. Kudos to the tech team.
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has lots of great information you might find helpful if you haven't already seen it - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
Do you mind sharing a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis?

John,
How wierd, I don't remember being a member, but 2012 was almost 12 years ago!
I am a long way, 4 to 5 hours, from a neurologist. I found one and I am scheduled for an EEG and a EMG which I understand is supposed to diagnose the origin or reason for my neuropathy. I I have been a letterpress and offset printer for 25 years, and refurbished and built a couple of houses which has exposed me to many toxins. I believe that is the source of my peripheral neuropathy. So far doctors I have seen, including a neurologist, are reluctant to except that reason. I am desperate for information on how to rest and deal with the pain and progress of my neuropathy.
I will definitely look up foundation for peripheral neuropathy. Thanks for that!
