Is loss of balance your primary complaint with neuropathy ?

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any other options. I've had an EMG test done on 3 separate occasions by 3 different neurologists in the past few years. It's not a fun procedure, but it lets them see where the nerve damage is.

Hi mrmacabre Once they find out where nerve damage, then what? How would treatment be different than what I am doing now? I guess I just dont understand and in my opinion neither do neurologists. I am now taken 300 mg a day of the gabapentin which does help with the burning, R Alpha Lipoic Acid, Benfotiamine, AcetylL L Carnitine, Biotine, manesium, turmeric. I exercise 3-4 times a week and swim everyday in the summer even though I live in central Florida, pool temp is 70 degrees too cold for me. Anyway, I tell myself why go throughthat horrifying EMG and treatment will be the same. Eight yrs ago was enough for me, I can still remember the pain.Now,my husband had EMG with no pain, he said it was like a bee sting. As with neuropathy we are all different with the EMG. Thank You for responding ,you are brave WOW 3 EMGs.
