I have the idiopathic form of PN that has advanced to the central nervous system. It started after acdf c3-c6 surgery(which was successful in correcting most of my severe spinal symptoms). Started with a hypersensitivity to touching any metal and soon advanced to fabric, both clothing and fabric/leather furniture. I started with the metal-LTT analysis blood tests(Orthopedic Analysis) and a patch test by a dermatologist. When both were negative for all metals I was referred to a rheumatologist and a neurologist. After many kinds of blood tests and neurology tests the rheumatologist found nothing that applied but I’m continuing with the neurologist. Tomorrow is my third. Other than prescribing baclofen for muscle spasms(my pcp put me on Gabapentin) he has not come up with a diagnosis but more importantly no kind of treatment. At the second appointment he said no to PT, myofacial release massage, pain management, even water aerobics, as they could increase the damage. At tomorrow’s appointment my husband and I have decided he needs to come up with a treatment plan or refer me to another neurologist. Very frustrating and scary as my nervous system increases its hyperactivity to perceived threats.
