Anyone go to a Mayo Clinic for neuropathy?

@rwinney Hi Rachel - Like you, I had lots of testing done for 3 years at 3 teaching hospitals and had all of the written reports. Idiopathic, all three. I decided to apply at Mayo Rochester. I sent all reports to Mayo with a letter implying that perhaps I could be a challenge for their doctors. I tried to give them a solid reason to accept me. Was accepted in Nov 2019, went to Mayo Feb 2020 prior to pandemic and I am sure back then the staffing was greater prior to the pandemic. Mayo said idiopathic as well however, they did some tests that the other hospitals did not do. If turned down, I would apply again after 9 - 12 months and provide any changes in condition from the prior application. Nothing to lose and don't get discouraged.

Hi rwinney,
Did the Mayo Clinic after they did the tests help to reduce your neuropathy pain? If so, what did they do? TIA

You said that you went to Mayo, what were the results. I have lower back problems for quite some time. They come & go. But 5 years ago I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. In addition I developed drop foot which has worsened. I have no pain problems, just balance & numbness.
