@isthisneurological if you are feeling distress you should really discuss this with a doctor, either you primary care doctor, a neurologist if you have one, or if the distress is acute, go to the ER. As John said, people here can answer questions based on their own experiences, but that isn’t a substitute for a qualified medical opinion.

While I agree with part of your reply I believe there is great value in the stories of others. Their experiences can suggest questions to ask your doctor. And they can help you decide whether that particular doctor is the best for you by the manner in which he answers. My first two oncologists failed to diagnose my neuropathy. It was due to online research that I was able to (correctly) self-diagnosed my neuropathy, and find a better provider.
