It’s great that we spend so much time worrying about the cause but the fact of the matter is once you got it, you can’t get rid of it. Underlying causes possibility. Let’s start with autoimmune diseases. I have vitiligo I am hypothyroid. didn’t have any symptoms of AN till right after my third Covid shot probably drank too much during Covid point being I don’t know where it came from. I’m not gonna dwell anymore. Basically any medical advice I’ve gotten has been totally ambiguous except the docs saying that I have autonomic neuropathy so bottom line I don’t know where it came from. I have some idea where it’s going, etc. etc. etc..

@andyjustin one thing I learned is you can have an auto immune disease and not know it. That is weird but true. I had two Covid shots in Jan. 2021 because I worked in the hospital. The other is I wanted to protect my family and myself. March 2021 I retired. No one in my family had anything like this. I take the alpha lipoic acid for the pin pricks and boy it worked. I get them here and there. I get tired of hearing— we know you have it we just don’t know the cause. Not all but some Doctors just don’t know how to talk to patients. I have heard it first hand. As a retired nurse I am appalled at what I now see and hear from Doctors and the medical field. I am not sure where SNF is going because it’s weird. WE all have to be our own advocates. I am in that mode now. I asked for a referral to a neurosurgeon and have had to keep on it. When I talk to people I make myself clear. But I have found that some people aren’t really listening to what you say. I have seen that at least a few times this past week. So I have had to correct things. I saw my neurologist and asked if what is happening now is related to my small nerve fiber and he said no. I think it’s related to my neck issues. Hopefully I will find out soon.
